Our locusts come in a range of sizes from hatchlings (5-10mm long) which are great for young chameleons, small geckos and very young bearded dragons Right up to adult locusts (60-80mm) which adult bearded dragons, water dragons and panther chameleons love!

How are the locusts packed?
The pre-packs and super-packs come in vented tubs with egg carton to increase the surface area of the tub. We give some bug grub to the locusts to feed on. The 50 and 100 packs come in woven plastic sacks (breathable) with egg carton and some bug grub. They are well fed, but gut load them before you use them for the best results.
