RE: [pogona] Re: NEED help with Supers and Meal Worms PLEASE!!! ASAP

Nope you didn’t get Phoenix worms in with the Supers. Were the grubs
looking thing kind of alien looking? And curled up? If so then your super
worm was transformed into the grub looking thing and it will transform in to
a beetle which is what the super worm turns into, I’ve had reports that
beardies love them also.



I keep my Supers in a 10 gallon tank that we had already and it was a tank
made specifically for reptiles and it has a screen top on it, it used to be
for my sons’ leopard gecko until we got her a 20 gal long. This works best
for this way I order 1000 supers at a time and I order less often.

That's what we use - a critter keeper with oatmeal in it. I throw in a
carrot chunk and some fish food for them. And I pick out any shed/molt that
they do every couple of days or as needed.

I must've somehow gotten some Phoenix worms in with my supers (although the
store I get my supers at doesn't sell Phoenix) because I had a few of them
transmorgrify into a grub-looking thing. It was a riot! They didn't squirm,
but would "wiggle" when you touched them.

Of course my non-girly daughters (9 and 12 years old) thought it was the
coolest thing ever.
