  HELP PLEASE..Food Information for C. Lizards

Hello,
Hope some one can give me some information about feeding C. Lizards. I have many outside this year and some stay around so I was feeding the large Meal Worms to them, but this shortage of the Meal Worms forced me to go with the Super Worms instead now it appears that the lizards stomachs are really large looking not the normal have noticed this after feeding the L.W. for about 4 days at one aday. Are these Super Worms bad for them.? These lizards range from about 3 to 5" insize.

If anyone could give me some advise as rather to stop feeding the Super Worms and what I can use instead as at our feed store there still is a storage of the large meal worms only can get the very small ones and that isn’t enough for the lizards to even mess with. Crickets are out because of the lizards being wild and loose ouside. Mind you I love those little guys and don’t want to do anything that will harm them. Thanks for any help I can get. Not that I need to feed them, but I enjoy their company when they do come around and stay for awhile. I also have a pet wild RoadRunner that I feed raw hamberger meat and the large worms too also and they don’t seem to be bothering it the large worms that is, but realize its a different spieces all together then the lizards.
P.S. I know that RoadRunners like to eat Lizards so I have taught the RoadRunner to stay off our front porch and also back patio you ask how did you do that well I turned the water hose on him when he has wonder onto the patio and also front porch so now it keeps its distance and too I keep it well fed. It does leave for about 6 months at a time when its breeding season, but always seems to return around June of every year.

Thanks again for any advice you can give me about the C.Lizards it would be much appreciated.
