KNOW THEIR FOOD
Choose confidently.
Keep feeding simple.
An active staple feeder where movement encourages feeding. Choose a size your animal takes comfortably, and gut-load your crickets before feeding. Sizes and pack counts vary by option.
Approximate live lengths vary naturally. Your animal’s actual head and mouth size matter more than age alone.

★★★★★Honorable company
Although my delivery got messed up by royal mail, Silkworm Store sent out a replacement package and were speedy at communicating. Their live foods turn up very healthy and have low mortality rates, unlike the many other companies and shops out there. I've used them several times now and I can definitely recommend.
