Superworm turned without being isolated

[Valerie]

I feed my beardies and my turtle superworms. I found the morph/pupa state of the superworm in my turtle tank. I had thought about breeding them but I wonder why it changed when I have read that they need to be isolated and put in seperate containers. I should add that my turtle has soil type bedding and the temps are in the 80's.

They only need to be separated from other superworms because the worms and beetles will eat the pupae.

So they will go into the pupae stage if they are kept together like mealworms do? Do mealworms not eat the pupae?

I've heard that mealworms will eat it, but I've never witnessed this. My beardie eats them all up before they can even think about pupating.

The reason i ask is becasue I breed mealworms for the outside birds and if I could breed the same way it would be great, unless the isolated way is better for supers.
