House Fly Larvae good for feeding?

[nguyen_inc]

I am planning on my next ordering of feeders, and I was wondering do House Fly Larvaes make good feeders?

Depends on what you're feeding them too. Some herps like them, others find that they taste bad.

And they have an enormous gross out factor. I mean, if you've never seen them in person, just KNOWING they are maggots will NOT prepare you. <G> They are horrible!

Maggots themselves aren't that gross. It's what they're feeding on when you see them for the first time that typically instills the gross-out feeling.

They're just little while worms. If you find them crawling out the eyes and ears of a decomposing creature, that would definitely add to the gross-out

Feed them on decaying fruit and pieces of meat, and it's not so bad.

to me they just look like small waxworms...hahah. I was planning on feeding them to a trio of twin spots, and fence lizards. Are they high in fat or anything like wax worms? Would they eat throw my lizards(: /)?.....
