Hi everyone. I was feeding some adult mealworms to my leo, and one of them, upon me picking it up between my thumb and index finger to give to my leo, sprayed a water-like substance at me. I have been breeding and feeding mealworms for years, and I have never herd of this or had it happen to me before...
Has anyone heard of this??? Are they supposed to do that???
It just kinda creeped me out.
thaannkyas!!
my superworms do this to me anytime i grab them by the head between my fingers. i think its just a defense maybe for them. just urine probably, or maybe some kind of musk. not exactly sure. but yes it happens to me a lot.
ok so this is normal?
Thanks for your answers guys!
I can't believe that that was the first time that has ever happened after all the years I have been dealing with them (AND superworms)
**shudder!** It was very disturbing.
