Today an employee of the local exotic pet shop told me my 3 month old beardie could eat hormworms longer than the length between its eyes because they are so soft bodied and juicy. Is this true? I just want to feed them as treats every once and a while. But dont want to risk anything, choking, impaction, ect. Are there any other dangers or advantages to feeding hornworms as treats I should know of?
BTW the worms she said were fine for it were 2-3 times the distance between my dragons eyes.

Soft and squishy worms like silkworms and hornworms longer than the space between a dragons eyes are fine.

The rule applies to insects who have hard exoskeletons like crickets , roaches, locasts etc.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
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 💔
