Waxworms 

Waxworms | A Good Live Feeder to Fatten Up Sickly Herps

Wax worms are a live feeder insect and a favorite treat of bearded dragons, neon tree dragons, geckos, brown anole, chameleons, three toed box turtle, and amphibians such as frogs, salamanders or newts, scorpions and tarantula (and fishing bait).  Good hydration (61%), Protein (16%), Calcium (1.4%) but very high in fat at 29% - so feed in moderation (except when rescuing skinny or sick animals) which you should then use as therapy to fatten up and regenerate to good health.  

Also Great for Ice Fishing

"Galleria Mellonella"
These larva, called Wax Worms and also known as Bee Moth Larvae, are one of the most popular live baits on the market today for pan fishing.  These hardy grubs can last a couple weeks at room temperature, longer when refrigerated at 50F (10C). 
This bait is used in the Summer or Winter and is very clean, great for the kids in the family as they last more than one fish. Available year round.

Yum!  Wax worms are a popular common reptile/amphibian food but they should only be fed as a treat since they are high in fat.  Think of them as chocolate or candy bars for your critters!  

Supplies pet owners with best quality wax worms.  These are popular since they do not need any feeding or care, can be kept in the fridge (no lower than 50 degrees) and last for months without any maintenance whatsoever.  Their substrate, usually wood shavings, should be kept dry.

Galleria Mellonella

Galleria Mellonella, commonly known as Waxworms, are the larval stage of the Greater Wax Moth. They make excellent fish bait and are widely used as live feeders for herps, all types of lizards and turtles, and are also suitable for certain frogs, scorpions, and tarantula.

Wax worms are climbers and do have a knack for escaping their containers. We ship them in Canadian Wheat Bran, in a plastic tub with tight fitting lid. Keep these worms refrigerated at all times (50-55 F) removing only those required for feeding. If maintained in cups and refrigerated, they will usually live for 3-4 weeks.

Wax worms are plump, moderately active, medium-white-to-light-tan caterpillars with black-tipped feet and small, black or brown heads. They are softer than meal worms and grow to about 3/4" long.  When kept in captivity, they can go a long time without eating, particularly if kept in wheat bran at a cool temperature. Captive wax worms are generally raised on a mixture of cereal grain, bran (bran) and honey.

Waxworms are often used to rehabilitate rescued or sick reptiles, to fatten them up, and bring them back to a healthy condition.
