Anyone raise silkworms?

My girlfriend is pondering starting up a colony of silkworms, part for fun and part for feeding her chameleon (and I'll steal a few every now and then for my ornata).

I haven't heard anyone here talk about having a colony of 'em, so I was just curious.

They don't seem like a ton of work, but certainly more than my roach colony.
