Anyone breeding pheonix or silk worms?

[thelonelyzombie]

I've been breeding dubias for a while now and considering starting a worm colony. My herp vet recommends feeding silk or pheonix worms to my beardie. Has anyone been doing this? Do they have to turn into bugs or do the breed as worms? Do they smell? Any links to breeding/care sheets? Any info to help decide if I want to start a new project...

Are phoenix worms Reptiworms? If so, they breed when there flys so I would guess that they are really hard to breed. Ive seen some good videos on brewing silkworms on YouTube. Might what to check it out!

I have heard on this site reptiworms and phoenix worms are the same.

Reptiworms and Pheonix Worms are the same larvae, yes. Different companies that's all. They aren't hard to breed but they're flies so you have to be wary of that. Silks tend to be easier, you just have to be VERY sanitary and careful.
