Mealworms are the larvae of the Tenebrio molitor darkling beetle. They're a very popular feeder for a variety of smaller reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids, including leopard geckos and tarantulas.
Our pre-cupped mealworms are great for hobbyists that want a convenient alternative to "boxed" or "bagged" feeders, and pet stores or resellers wanting a professional pre-packaged solution. Our large mealworms are approximately 1" in length.
