Tomato Worms

This was probably the weirdest birthday gift ever: Eldon requested tomato worms. 

He wanted them so he could watch them grow, and then feed them to his gecko!

Where to find them? Amazon!



Their sticky little feet are so weird!

Rex likes them. 
This is a medium sized worm.
We read that the full grown guys are as filling as TWENTY crickets!



Our friend sent us this picture!
Apparently, this hornworm is covered with eggs from a wasp.
The wasp lays the eggs, and as they grow, the babies eat the hornworm from the inside!


"Poor worm!" said the boys...
the same boys who love feeding these worms to a gecko.

If you want to see something even weirder, check out this video!
