Good morning,
Lizzie has eaten almost all her hornworms... About two a day.
They are about 2.5-3inches long.
Today two of the three left were not moving.
Do they just look lifeless when they go to pupa or is it likely dead?
Either way... I cannot breed them so how do I properly dispose them?
Can she eat moth?

They sort of shorten up and change color when they go to pupate, they eventually turn hard and brown - if they are limp and soft they are dead. I throw them in the trash or flush them. She can eat the moths provided she is big enough (if I remember she should be) I think it takes a couple weeks to pupate but I've never done it

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
