Wax worm pupae and moths?

Status

I know wax worm larvae are good as an occasional treat, but can beardies eat the pupae? Before they turn into moths. And if they do turn into moths, can beardies eat those also?

(Not sure if this belongs under feeding or feeders, sorry.)

They should be able to eat them at any stage, including wax moths. I would be careful not to let the moths loose since they can be harmful to bee hives.

That's where their name comes from. They eat the bees wax that the hives are built on. Not really a pest you want loose in the wild =)

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.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
