    Hmmm, what are you feeding superworms to? We find the beetles in the beardies cage - she actually prefers to eat the beetles when she can!

    Nice shot.

    They're Mealworm Beetles :D they sell the lavar in the pet shops so you can feed them to Lizards etc , sometimes they hatch before they get eaten and the result is the Beetle. .... Skippy :D

    not meal worm beetles, those are something different. these are super worms (much larger worm) beetles..

    and were feeding them to the leopard geckos we have. were no longer having to feed crickets (thank goodness! they stink) we purposly keep some of the beetles so they can make more baby worms lol... free food!

    thanks for the comments everyone!! we actually no longer have our female bearded dragon, she is "of size" to breed and we sent her to the breeder we use to have babies for him. we traded him for a new rack for our snakes. We also rehomed the frogs, cutting cricket legs are a pain in the butt and just became too much of a job with being so busy with work, school, kids, exc. our collection is now down to 10 snakes, 2 leopard geckos and 3 pet rats.
