Feeder Size Guide
Choosing the correct feeder size helps make feeding easier, safer, and more appropriate for your reptile. A commonly used starting point is to select prey no wider than the space between your reptile's eyes, while also considering the animal's species, age, feeding behavior, and individual needs.
Shop by feeder size
Crickets
Banded crickets are offered in five clearly defined sizes, from pinhead through large. Each listing states its size so you know what you are ordering rather than guessing from a name alone.
Discoid Roaches
Discoid roaches are organized by actual size and life stage rather than vague labels. This matters especially for Florida keepers looking for a feeder-roach option in place of dubia roaches — see Florida-Legal Feeders for why.
Mealworms
Mealworms are listed by the approximate length of the worms shipped. Natural variation occurs within any batch, so treat the stated size as the center of a range rather than an exact measurement.
Hornworms
Hornworms grow extremely quickly. The size you receive can change substantially within days of arrival, so choose with that growth in mind rather than ordering for the size you need today.
Not sure which size to order?
When in doubt, choose the smaller size. Your reptile's species, age and individual feeding needs should always take priority over a general sizing chart.
Sizes are approximate. Live feeders vary naturally in size within any batch, and hornworms in particular grow quickly and will continue to increase in size.
