Highlighted Reviews
"Was a great but packaging could have been a little better when I went to open the box I had them everywhere due to they were always in the process of climbing out but all are good and growing great I’ve got two very happy geckos"
"My mealworms, half of them were dead, and they were definitely not large. Most were very small. I'm quitting Chewy, and blasting everyone for false advertising."
