First off… ewwww… hornworms are gross. However, you can buy them on Amazon. They’re easy to get and an excellent snack for bearded dragons. They come in green and blue and are guaranteed to arrive alive. It’s hard not to agree with Deanna about the ickiness. They are creepy and crawly, but Cheeto seems to love them.

Hornworms will grow into sphinx or hawk moths if they aren’t fed to Cheeto. You can tell that Chelsea’s roommate isn’t accustomed to feeding the lizard. She nudges the little critter using tongs and is repulsed when it moves. She mutters, “Pretend they’re gummy worms… pretend they’re gummy worms.” When she finally extracts it from the container, she flings it onto the floor near Cheeto.

Cheeto makes short work of the hornworm while Deanna gags in the background. Meanwhile, the dog is watching this whole episode with bemused curiosity. Deanna gasps in horror as Cheeto chomps the lizard snack happily. After posting the first video, comments poured in from other users. They might make this a weekly feature.

The second round went a little better, aside from Cheeto trying to run away and Deanna dragging him back into the frame. The dog looks like he wants that last hornworm.

These two roommates are from Scottsdale, Arizona. You might recognize them from TikTok, where Chelsea posts about food, family, and fun. Her roommate, Deanna, is the HungryMuncher, a food and travel vlogger. The two have a ton of adventures.

Please share the lizard drama.
