Where do you get your superworms? Do you get them live or canned? What about Butterworms and Waxworms?

My super worms are in a plastic box and live ,I get them from a herp shop near me,never fed butter or waxworms, I hear that waxworms are real fattening for lizards

I get my superworms from a local petstore or Petsmart. Online is cheaper but I like to support my local independent pet store even though they're clueless about blue tongues. I'm training them, though!!!!
My guys love to kill the "bad" superworms by shaking them from side to side until they give and then they're quickly dispatched. My beardie is crazy about them too.
When my sugar gliders are full grown, I'll try some with them too. Right now they're munching on little mealworms.

I get my waxworms online when I order my frozen mine....even with the shipping it is cheaper then buying at the pet store. I no longer feed superworms or mealworms since LittleFoot wasn't digesting them.

I have gotten butter worms from a local pet store (you can buy in small quantity for a treat) and have ordered phoenix worms on line from the worm man worm farm. Tattoo sure does love live food.

Chuff loves waxworms, but they are high in fat nad have been likened to "Lizard Crack" because they're apparently addictive. I've had to special order butterworms and silkworms from Mulberry farms, (sadly, my guys don't really like these. I'll try them again next spring when appetites are a little more voracious) and my local petstores carry wax, meal, and superworms.
