Hi SIRIUS,

Wax worms are shorter than sw but very fat,soft & white in color , as i know they are very high in proteins. hope some of the members can post the pic for me, thanks in advance guys.

Hi Twin

Wax worms were the first thing i fed to my silver as the lfs was all out of superworm. it gobbled up about 6 or 7 of the little buggers right away... but the next day i came out and found 4 whole worms floating at the top of the water all stuck together, i can only assume that he was unable to digest them and regurgitated the worms. after that he wont even look at a wax worm.

since then i have been able to aquire superworm wich he enthusiasticly inhales, and i never see them again

btw
here is a pic of one, they are alot softer bodied than superworm, not much of an exoskeleton

Wax worms are not the same as sw, these worms are about 1" long, fat like a pencil, very soft & very white.
