"I got these larvae for my Box Turtles. They are VERY picky, but charge across the enclosure when they see me put the worms in. I'm so happy about this because they won't eat any food that has a supplement, such as calcium, sprinkled on it."

Tell Me About:

🦴 Naturally Calcium-Rich Black soldier fly larvae are one of the most calcium-rich feeder insects, so they're a great staple for bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons and turtles.

💪 Protein & Healthy Fats High in protein and healthy fats to keep your reptiles healthy and full.

🐛 Big & Wiggly Plump, active larvae that trigger the hunting instinct, even in picky eaters.

🌱 Nothing Added 100% live larvae. No additives, no preservatives.

Your larvae arrive in tubs of 500+ each, in a coconut-husk bedding that's safe for reptiles and larvae.

📦 STORAGE

Keep the tub in a dark, cool place and close the lid tightly after each use. They last two to three weeks after delivery. To keep them longer, store them in a fridge at 40°F or warmer. Never put them in the freezer.

Kept long enough, larvae turn into black soldier flies. The flies are completely harmless, and many reptiles love them even more.

We ship live larvae every Monday & Tuesday, with USPS tracking, so they're never stuck in transit over a weekend. Every order ships FREE.

🌡️ COLD OR HOT WEATHER

Cold larvae go dormant. If they aren't moving when they arrive, put them under a heat lamp or somewhere 78°F+ for 15–20 minutes. In hot areas, watch your tracking and bring the box inside as soon as it's delivered.

NATURALLY
CALCIUM-RICH

Calcium keeps reptile bones strong. Black soldier fly larvae are naturally rich in it, so they're a feeder that's good for your reptile on its own.

Our reviewers call them the biggest, healthiest larvae they've found. Plump, active feeders get even picky eaters hunting.

FAQs

Two to three weeks after delivery. Keep the tub in a dark, cool place with the lid closed tightly. To keep them longer, store them in a fridge at 40°F or warmer. Never freeze them.
Probably not. Black soldier fly larvae go dormant when they get cold. Put them under a heat lamp or somewhere 78°F+ for 15–20 minutes and they should wake right up.
Live larvae ship every Monday & Tuesday by USPS with tracking, so they never sit in a warehouse over the weekend. If you live somewhere hot, watch your tracking and bring the box inside as soon as it arrives.
Our customers feed them to bearded dragons, leopard and crested geckos, chameleons, box turtles, frogs, toads, spiders and more. Chickens, ducks and other birds love them too.
Kept long enough, yes. Black soldier flies are completely harmless (they don't bite or buzz around food), and many reptiles love hunting them even more than the larvae.

Description

We only ship on Mondays & Tuesdays for all fresh products to ensure fresh delivery.  

NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS. If you live in a cold area and the Larvae are not moving when your package arrives, place them under a heat lamp or in a warm area 78+ degrees for 15-20 minutes after arrival. Black soldier fly larvae can enter a dormant state when they experience cold temperatures.  If you live in a hot area please watch your tracking information and be ready to receive your larvae so they do not die from the heat. 

How to keep your larvae alive after arrival! 

You will receive your larvae in small tubs, each containing 500+ fresh larvae. 

The substrate they are in is a mixture of coconut husk. This substrate is safe for reptiles and black soldier fly larvae. 

Once the larvae arrive, they should last for two to three weeks after delivery. 

Keep the Larvae in a dark and cool place, and close the lid tightly after each use! Please do not put them in the freezer. If you want to preserve them longer, place them in a temp-controlled refrigerator at 40+ degrees Fahrenheit. Please note that these are live larvae and if kept to long they will turn into black soldier flies. The flies are completely harmless and can still be great treats for your pet. 

Shipping, Returns, and Extra Larvae

We only ship orders on Monday & Tuesday. Tracking information is through USPS.

In the case, a shipment is damaged during transit or you are dissatisfied with a purchase. Please contact us immediately. We will do everything in our power to make sure you are happy and that you get your larvae!

This was my first time ordering from GrubTerra, and I thought the customer service was excellent.  The bugs arrived quickly, and all the larvae were alive and good sized! Ms. Olive my box turtle is a very satisfied customer.

Customer video review of GrubTerra Fresh Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Reptiles

Bsfl arrived fine, even had new hatching larvae after a few days. But Texas heat kills all indiscriminately. Recommended to put your box in a garage or something because even in the shade, 109 degrees kills. I'll have to order some more

My bearded dragon loves them ! They are very nutritious. They stay in a hibernation like state if you keep them at the right temperature so they don’t turn into flies super fast. Thanks grub terra !!!

Customer video review of GrubTerra Fresh Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Reptiles

We were very happy with our Grub Terra BSL larvae! All of our reptiles absolutely loved them! There were so many in the container we even had enough left over to reserve some and allow them to turn to flies. I’m not sure which the reptiles liked more. We will definitely be ordering from this company again! We couldn’t be happier and neither could the reptiles!

Customer photo review of GrubTerra Fresh Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Reptiles

These are by far the BEST BSFL I've came across! Some of the local pet shops around me don't have anything near the size of Grubterra's BSFL. My Leopard Gecko Taz demolishes these every time I feed it to him. Grubterra is the best!

Daphne absolutely loved her black Soldier fly larvae! She was not a fan of others we’ve previously bought elsewhere, but these are larger, and she devours them! She goes after these as much as any treat bug! Thanks, Grubterra!

Customer video review of GrubTerra Fresh Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Reptiles

Grubterras BSFL are much larger compared to most companies and this is the first time I didn't waste my money. Normally my critters won't touch them but being bigger and more eye catching I believe helped!

Customer photo review of GrubTerra Fresh Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Reptiles

I received my 500 BSFL from grubterra safe and sound. The quality was amazing and they’re so nutritious for reptiles that you don’t have to add in calcium. I love adding them as mix ins with the rest of my mixed feeders and my reptiles go crazy over the BSFL!

My beardie loves her grubs! I’ve been keeping them in the fridge to make them last longer and slow the growth down as they shed their shells pretty fast- had no issues with storing them in the fridge just takes 10 min for them to warm back up
