How big to eat hornworms?

[AndyHarp94]

So I've had my buddy Spyro for about a month and a half now and I've mostly been feeding him Dubia roaches with the occasional batch of crickets while I'm waiting for a delivery and wax worms for a treat. I'll keep Dubias as his main food source but I do want to mix it up some with his snacks so I was thinking about getting some hornworms. I know feeding him something that's too big could be bad so I was wondering if hornworms were ok. He's around 11.5" right now.

Thanks!

Horn worms are a good choice to mix with other feeders. Since they contain a lot of moisture, they are a softer worm so the "size between the eyes" rule doesn't apply. Since they do grow very fast, would be a good idea to order a variety of sizes requesting very small ones too. As you probably know, they can grow to 4' so if they get that big, they would probably be too large for Spyro.
