Me no like!

My little Indo won't touch horn worms! He will get all excited when I stick my hand in with one, lick it, and then turn away! I don't get it! They are so big and juicy! If I put a silk worm in, death, but no horn worms. Weird

Horn worms do bite, so maybe he is afraid?

I've had similar reactions from mine. Some will eat horn worms but don't show a ton of excitement and lots will just ignore them. The same blueys will LOVE silks or dew worms. I've stopped buying horn worms for that reason, which is unfortunate because they are super healthy. Good thing your beardie eats them!

Does that mean there is something wrong with me if I like peanuts but not walnuts? Not sure there is any further explaination beyond personal preference.

Probably just personal preference! He/she may love some foods while hate others.

But, walnuts are nuts and peanuts are legumes. :edward:
