really?!?! weird, ive always grabbed them out with my hands, and hand feed them. I have been pinched hard by them, but it really didnt even hurt haha. have you personally had it happen?

Whoa! They draw blood from humans or dragons or both? I think the worms we have are in the 1.5-2.5 range.

I've seen them draw blood on my father when he was picking them off his tomato plants last fall.

There is a you tube video of a chameleon trying to eat a hornworm and nabs it tail first. The hornworm bites him in the eye area.

Tweezer work great! Or always grab them by the head! I always feed mine head first! just to stay on the safe side. My gal will take a 4' horn worm in 2 bits lol.... she loves them and they do grow fast! I can't feed them off fast enough they just grow like crazy! How big can they get?
