Hornworms
Hornworms (Manduca sexta) are an exceptional choice for reptile enthusiasts seeking high-quality live feeders. These caterpillars are renowned for their large size and nutritional value, making them ideal for feeding to a variety of reptiles, including bearded dragons, chameleons, and certain species of geckos.
Nutrient-Rich: High in moisture, protein, and essential nutrients.
Easy to Digest: Soft-bodied caterpillars are easily consumed and digested.
Hydrating: High moisture content supports hydration in reptiles.
Stimulate Natural Feeding Behaviors: Active movement encourages hunting and feeding responses.
Raised on a Nutritious Diet – We ensure our hornworms are fed a balanced, high-quality diet for optimal health.
🚨 All hornworm orders will include a small amount of food to sustain them for a few days - its recommended you feed them off before you run out of food.🚨
Hornworm Sizes Available:
We offer hornworms in three size categories to best suit your reptile’s needs:
🐛 Small – Newly hatched to approximately 3/4" (perfect for smaller reptiles and hatchlings).
🐛 Medium – 3/4" to 1.75" (a great mid-sized option for juvenile reptiles).
🐛 Large – 1.75" and up (ideal for adult reptiles needing a substantial feeder).
🔹 Please Note: We strive to accommodate your size choice, but because hornworms can grow quickly, especially during shipping, their exact arrival size may vary slightly.
In addition to live hornworms, we now offer hornworm eggs, allowing you to hatch and grow your own feeders at home!
✔ Cost-Effective – Hatch only what you need and save on feeder costs.
✔ Great for All Stages – Control their size by feeding and growing them at your own pace.
✔ Fun to Watch – See their full life cycle from egg to caterpillar!
How to Care for Hornworm Eggs Upon Arrival
✅ Keep eggs at 75-80°F – This helps ensure proper hatching within 2-4 days.
✅ Avoid excessive humidity – Keep them in a dry, well-ventilated area.
✅ Do not refrigerate – Cold temperatures will delay or prevent hatching.
✅ Provide food after hatching – Newly hatched hornworms need specialized hornworm chow to grow properly.
