Superworms are not just 'giant mealworms' even though they have a similar
appearance - they are actually a different species. Their scientific name is the
Zoophobas mario and they are the larvae of the darkling beetle. Superworms are
softer and have less chitin (exoskeleton) than mealworms, making digestion
easier. Superworms have a long life span, are high in protein, and are incredibly
energetic and lively, making them an excellent feeders for lizards!
Care
Refrigeration: No; superworms should be kept at room
temperature.
Life span: Superworms will live about 2 months if properly
cared for.
Appearance and texture: Brown with light and dark brown
stripes. They are smooth and extremely lively.
Size: 2".
Bedding and food: Superworms may be kept in a container at room
temperature. They will eat vegetables. Feed only as much as they will eat
and remove the remainder every day. This will prolong their life span.
As with most worm suppliers, worms are sold in a measured volume, not
individually counted. You may get slightly more or less depending on
the worm size of the batch.
