Couldn't figure out how to add two photos to the same post. Oh well, here's the pic of the worms from Kazarie.

Jerilyn,

They look good:) Only way to have more than one photo in a post is to host the pictures externally. If you use the built in picture host you are limited to one picture.

RWC is in Canada. That addy is from his US supplier. Bentley is a great guy and will try to help anyone with any worm issues.

""RWC is in Canada.""

I know, but I didn't hold that against them. ;)

I see you're already increasing their value. Looks like they're really chowing-down on those coins. :-)
I've heard of 'Coin' snakes, but...
or do they only eat U.S. Currency?

I had to bribe them to pose for the photo. ;)

I could be wrong but I am guessing JerilynnC did her research before sending money to a worm provider. Did you perchance select the top two your research showed should work well in your area?

My guess is your criteria were states name of product in Latin. States pounds of worms only without bedding. May also state amount of bedding added. Bedding helps the worms ship well.

Had JerilynnC not done her research we may have heard results such as it took a while for the worms to be put into the mail. There was a lot of bedding but not a lot of worms. E-mails and telephone calls were sent to ask about these two issues but nobody answered. The worms had a lot of "friends". Bits of creatures one did not know about are in a natural system but the purchasers system is indoors.

Possibly the two places JerilynnC placed head to head both measure out their weight in worms for the poundage purchased and then add back in bedding to protect the worms during shipping.

Also worms can loose a percentage of weight during shipment.

If I purchased worms I would always weight just the worms so I would know. Once they are free in your system it is difficult to call roll call.

Thank you JerilynnC for doing this test and reporting to the board. Your research is valuable since there is no other way to find this stuff out. No doubt you could have gained more worms for yourself by not dividing your purchase by two and paying two shipping costs. So you sort of took one for the team. If you need to purchase a large quantity of worms in the future you know either worm provider can meet the need.
