The Goliath worm is very imposing, it can reach a weight of 9 grams, it is recommended for larger reptiles. Within a period of approximately 20 days, it goes from egg to adult size which is 3" on average. Equipped with a bright color, its predator cannot remain inactive in front of it.
The Goliath worm is very hydrating and easily digestible. Its Ca:P ratio is good but should
