Review: Hornworms from Great Lake Hornworm

[DragonJosh]

So I wanted to share my experience of Great Lake Hornworm (http://www.greatlakeshornworm.com/) and the hornworms I ordered from them. I initially ordered 50 eggs from them. He forgot the lids for cups, but sent out some new ones asap (in the meantime I did what they recommend and put paper towels with rubberbands on for temp lids). Unfortunately the cold weather damaged eggs as majority didn't hatch and the ones that did passed away. They worked out a deal with me and sent me 3 prepared cups with already live hornworms. I can't begin to say how great of customer service Great Lake Hornworm's has between the lid and replacement with live ones. So that I rate highly with them. As far as the hornworms. These things are awesome! They didn't seem to move much, but my beardies LOVE THEM. Both my male and female reacted super fast the second I started to put them in the cage (normally takes them a while to scurry over to their feeding dish with fly larvae to eat). So for a picky eat these may be a great treat to help spark appetite. I was also amazed at how insanely fast the hornworms grow. I swear overnight some gained an inch easily. So following the recommendations on the site for slowing growth may be a good idea if you have smaller beardies. Just wanted to share my experience!

http://www.greatlakeshornworm.com are great. I order from them all the time. Not just hornworms but they have GREAT prices on superworms, especially if buying in bulk. I have never had an issue with DOA's, and they ship your feeders out super fast. I highly recommend them.
