Re: I'm confused
I know I have heard our UK members say that lobworms are the same as nightcrawlers...so I believe those are the ones that you want to buy. I do not know what the other worms are. Double check with one of our UK members...but I'm almost positive that lobworms are what you are looking for.

Re: I'm confused
Dendrobaena are red wigglers, I believe, which aren't safe for garters to eat. Lobworms, as far as I know, are the same as night crawlers.
