Superworm - Kingworm
Scientific Name: Zophobas Morio

All though they look like large mealworms, they aren't, they have a softer exoskeleton, meaning your reptile can digest them easier then mealworms.

Can easily be kept in a rubbermaid container based on how many Superworms or Kingworms you buy.

For bedding/substrate you can use wheat bran or oatmeal filled 2-3 inches high. Most times you can leave the containter at room temperature or between 70-85 degrees.

Use apple slices or potato slices as a supply of moisture for the super/king worms. Remove these every couple of days or before signs of rotting, else you may get some bacteria growth that may kill your superwoms.
