Sorry if this sounds condescending, but are you aware that worms turn in to beetles, and pretty big ones at that? It is just that you mention you can´t do bugs, yet you still have to deal with them with superworms. in answer to your other questions, you dont need any lights. It doesn´t mater...

I don´t have anything to feed them to. All I have is two Turtles and they don´t like them, so I have absolutely no use whatsoever for them. The thing is, I live on island in the middle of the Atlantic, off the west coast of Africa. Nobody will ship live food here (or BD´s for that matter). I...

Because, as I said, feeders are really hard to get here. I saw some mealworms once, so I bought them while they were available. If the time comes that I need mealworms for something, chances are that I wont be able to get them. So I wont to keep what have going but try and keep it more or less...

I know mealworms aren´t good feeders and I have no use for them whatsoever. I got mine as a test really to see how things went. I started off with 80 something worms and ended up with 70 odd beetles. They bred and I have hundreds of worms and now they have started to pupate. Thing is I have...

RIP Stumpy :( They finally managed to finish him off. He lost another two legs through the week, but still kept going, pretty admirable in his determination. Anyway, he´s finally lost today and he´s been chewed up a bit. Strangley enough I´ve not seen the fighting going on for a few days now...

They´ve all been in there for a couple of weeks now, maybe a bit longer. Its just whenever one approaches another beetle then they fight, most the time one of them will run and hide and other times they have a bit a scrap and one gets hurt. It might just be that I have one really aggressive...

Are the beetles supposed to be as evil as mine? So far I ended up with 14 beetles from 20 worms (the rest died when pupae). Out of the 14, 3 have been killed and another 1 has lost 2 and half legs. They seem to be always attacking each other and unfortunately the stumpy one can´t run away any...

Started my superworm and mealworm colony a couple of weeks ago. Mealworms are definitely doing better than the supers. I have 3 beetles already and 26 pupa. The superworms finally started to pupate a couple of days ago and I now have 11 pupa from the 20 superworms, but I have had 4 superworms...

Thanks - already read that thread. In fact I actually owe my purchase of the superworms to that thread. BTW they seem to be doing great, munching down the carrots in double time. They are only feeding the anole mealworms I think. I´ve seen a few youtube videos on mealworm breeding and...

Wahoo success!!! Went to the petstore and they sold me 20 superworms. Got a container and some wheat bran and oats for the substrate. I have that about 2inches thick. Made a some holes in the lid and put coffee filters on for grilles. So all in all I am well happy with todays progress. The...

Humidity is an issue. I am facing the same troubles, except my problem is that the ambient humidity and temperature is high, so I need to dehumidify to viv. I am a refrigeration/air conditioning engineer, so this is easy(ish) for me to do and get parts for etc. One thing that a lot of people...

The third one must be a mealworm pupa, as that is what they are feeding the anole. What I thought were supers seem to actually be mealworms. So it seems like the main problem is solved then. I was reading through the superworm breeding thread last night. I think I might buy some of them at...

Are super worms as big as that? I thought they were like the size of the smaller ones in the first bin

Quite an interesting trip to the pet store today. The girl that normally works there wasn´t in, some other guy was there. There were worms again in the anole cage so I asked him if they sold them, to which he said they would do yes. I asked what type they were and got "worms?" Anyway, he...

If I get chance tomorrow, i´ll try and sneak a picture of one and post it. Should of done that today really. I´m sure you lot would be able to identify them straight away.

hmmm, interesting idea. I think that they use seafood as bait and you can see they fisherman in the beaches in the mornings getting things out of the rock pools, but maybe it might be an idea to look in to thanks. There is only sea fishing here, as we don´t have any rivers, lakes, streams etc...

Thanks, just googled superworms and although they were a a bit more yellow than the ones I found on google, that does indeed look like them. So supers are alright as a staple then?

Maybe a possible breakthrough. I popped in to the petshop today. They have an Anole in there, and in it´s food bowl were some kind of a worm? They were about an inch and a bit long, golden/yellowish colouring. They were alive as they were riggling around. What would they be and would they...

Still researching this and as predicted, live food is a problem. The reason you can´t buy it here is because you cannot import anything that can breed and survive naturally here. It´s a environmental protection thing apparently. That rules out pretty much everything except for catching wild...
