I want to get some silkworms and hornworms for my beardie but do not know who is a reputable source to buy from. Do you have recommendations? I am in the US.

Silkworms can be tough to find at times so it's best to keep checking sources for availability (and seasonal temps can affect shipping as well). I've had good luck getting silks from CoastalSilkWorms. It looks like they have the silkworm pods in stock right now so if you're looking, I'd pick them up. They come with the food they need so it's pretty easy.

For hornworms I usually order from greatlakeshornworm. Their availability tends to be pretty constant and I order the pods from them as well.

I've gotten horns from greatlakes, they are good. Recently I've been getting them from rainbowmealworms though.

As far as silks, I've only ever bought from mulberryfarms. And lately they've only had eggs so I've been buying and hatching the eggs myself.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
