Silkworm size

[Desdemona]

So, what size guideline would you use for worms? I ordered medium silkworms and their actual sizes vary greatly. Some of them are pretty large, close to 1.5" Girth wise they are not insanely fat, their heads are the largest area and they are still smaller than the space between the eyes. Is there a limit on how long of a worm you would give your dragon?

For a silkworm or other soft bodied feeders as such. The space between their eye rule can be stretch a bit. I would use a personally developed rule, as I like to have rules. They help to keep my dragons within safe guidelines. No larger then the head of the dragon, when it comes to soft bodied feeders. :wink:
I am sure it is okay to feed them slightly larger then that but, like I said and I will reiterate, I like to play it safe when it comes to my babies.

You are talking about the length of the worm, right?
