About This Product

LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED if your temps fall within our LAG (read here). Please check your temps before ordering!

Butterworms (1000 count) are larvae of the Chilean Moth (Chilecomadia moorei). Butterworms are popular fishing bait in South America, and exported to the United States for the same purpose. Fortunately for us (and your hungry pets!), butterworms make a great snack! Butterworms are relatively low in fat and are very high in calcium. Butterworms' bright coloration and undulating, catepillar like movement entices even the pickest of eaters to chow down. Butterworms can be between 3/8ths" and 1.5" but are usually around 3/4ths", and are consumed by bearded dragons, leopard geckos, aquatic turtles, chameleons, monitors, tegus, fat tail geckos, and many tarantulas, centipedes, and scorpions.

Josh's Frogs cannot ship butterworms to the following states: Hawaii, Louisiana, Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia.

How to Store

Simply put the container the butterworms come in in your fridge door. Butterworms come packed in wheat bran, which they may eat. Store butterworms at 38-42F. At these temps, butterworms may last a month or longer!

How to Feed

It's common for butterworms to spin a cocoon during storage - carefully tear this apart to reveal the butterworm. Remove butterworms from the wheat bran and place them in a bowl, or tong feed them to your animal.
