are these red wiggler worms?

No, earthworms are different than the red wigglers. Red wigglers are best for inside composting. I put red wigglers in my outdoor compost pile and looks like earthworms have joined them. They are multiplying fast, are fat and happy and doing a great job breaking down the fruit & veggie scraps that I grind up in my blender and rake into my pile. I don't think the red wigglers survived last winter (I live in SE Alaska) but they are not too expensive to add each spring.

Yes. They are smaller than European night crawlers and not suitable for use as fishing bait. I have had both, and these red wigglers seem to eat more/faster and they reproduce faster.

The ones I received were red wigglers, but I think depending on the season you may get different types. I had ordered in early Spring.

I'm no biologist but from what I can tell they are. Mine were red and they wiggled.

They probably cannot be remoistened. I would get live if these are for a tarantula. I would also suggest the mealworms you get in the fridge at pet stores like Petco or petsmart. These are not that great. I bought them for my sugar glider. He liked them, but he favors mealworms.

The bottom of the container they are shipped in is full of food that will last far longer than the worms lifespan. It is a hard mixture that they slowly eat away. I have not seen them finish it by then time I've fed all 15 yet

I'm know nothing about worms, but I found this article for you. http://www.redwormcomposting.com/worms/do-euros-and-red-worms-get-along/Without reading it, basically they'll live together fine since they are in the same species of worm. Only con with mixing is if you're a worm farmer wanting to sell one select specie. Reds better at composting, night crawlers at aerating soil.

I didn't have any luck with the works i bought from a bait shop. Its my understanding that they are usually night crawlers which aren't the ideal composting worms.

My worms arrived in a small box with some slightly moist bedding. Having lived in Vegas, I understand your concerns. They should be okay for a few hours, just be sure to get them into fresh, moist bedding in a cool location right away.

That's about the size the ones I was dealing with were. I believe they were German roaches, if that helps. Just make sure you use the 12-month ones, the other kinds don't work. I think they probably use stronger stuff in the 12-month ones.

Mine have always been red. I haven't ever seen them in another color. As long as the power is on they are red. I replace about every 6 to 12 months. They have been very effective on both insects and rodents.

Yes, they are. From the company's website: http://www.naturesplus.com/products/productdetail.php?productNumber=3421&criteria=keywordSearchResults

I have red worms growing in mine without any issues, but I'm not sure. Might be worth asking the manufacturer? Walmart sells it too but I never found any locally which is why I ordered it from Amazon.

To the best of my knowledge the red wigglers seem to do well in raised garden beds and gardens. If fed with leftover vegetable waste from the house (no meat & fat, no onion or citrus peel) They propagate in number and aerate and help fertilize the soil.

Red wrigglers are known as Eisenia Fetida not 100% sure for these ones . As far as I know you can't have them too cold .

They arrived in a box that had them in a small drawstring sack, like a small potato sack with paper inside for them to burrow in. My worms arrived in good shape. I called my local post office and let them know that if I was not home to pick up the packaging, to please leave the package at the post office as it had live mealworms in it and I did not want them left out in the sun. All was well.

This is strictly a de worming product. You need a different package for those things.

We had the opposite problem. We ordered our worms in the dead of winter in upstate ny. They were dropped off on our front porch for hours before we noticed them. The package clearly said "perishable" and "live" yet the PO still left them to freeze, which they did. Out of 200 we probably had 50 still alive. If you need them in the summer go to Walmart. But if it is a cooler season for you then these are nice worms that come nicely packaged. Price wise walmart worms are 30 for $3ish. We supplemented ours with a few containers of walmart worms. As far as we know everyone got along. No worm wars. But many babies. ;-)

No - but they didn't work for our tank. The died pretty quickly and weren't able to help with our snail population. We were disappointed.
