[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 187528, member: 29323"] If you are feeding mealworms, make sure you crush or remove the head of the mealworm, as they normally quickly burrow into the substrate & the T looses it's food, but worse still, eventually the mealworm turns into a beetle & if the beetle resurfaces when your T is molting, The beetle could easily bite & harm your vulnerable T. A beheaded mealworm will still be able to move/wriggle 24 hours after being decapitated, so beheading them is not like feeding them dead prey. [/QUOTE]
