hahaha I am not Igotfrogs

that was an imposter
a damn BIG one too!

 

[hugsta]

Was a great show and worth the visit. Good to catch up with all the usuals as well. Think I spent more time gasbagging to people than I did looking at animals, although my favourite was by far the perentie, great enclosure setup and an awesome looking critter. Well done guys.

My only disappointment was walking into the show and seeing someone holding corn snakes, but that is a debate for another day.

 

[IgotFrogs]

nawww farma dont get all shy now people know what you really look like your a lovely guy

 

[killimike]

I was surprised by the corn snakes too. The burmese less so, but then, this isn't the everglades....

veenarm : If that wasn't aimed at me, then I'm sorry in advance for the following... if it was aimed at me, then I only really have this to say
"Super Worms" and mealworms are the same thing,

The sp. Tenebrio Molitor are the common Mealworm (which you get in 99% of petshops) They feed them a hormone to prolong the larval stage making them a superworm.

Zophobas Morio which I do have and cultivate are a very different bug to the Tenebrio Molitor.
Zophobas Morio is what people call Giant Mealworms.
I had mine very clearly marked as "Giant Mealworms" which is the latter.

In your statement you make, you have mis-used species by crossing them. You have made out that they are the same species.

It's like saying Diamond Olive python. it's confusing because there are 2 species which you are referring to, so it's hard to determine which one you are actually talking about.

Again though, my apologies for this reply if it wasn’t aimed at me.

I'm not sure if it was you or not
I'm more confused than anything, but I have spoken to some people and apparently all the names seem to get used interchangably, I have heard of the hormone etc, but that doesn't change the entire shape / detail of a worm.

My understanding was Mealworms are mostly shell and shouldn't really be fed to Bearded Dragons (more birds etc) but Super/King worms can be fed as treats as they are fatty and my guys LOVE them..

From wikipedia - these are mealworms so I would of assumed etc...

Everything I've read pointed to king/super being the same, but now apparently subtle differences are noticed (such as) super can't be put in fridge and are the larger ones and King are apparently the 'large mealworm' with the hormore.

I mainly questioned it as yours looked exactly like 'medium sized superworms' as from the herp shops food section

I'm glad i'm learning more as I am breeding both mealworms and superworms and always though that king/super were the same!!

But yes, didn't mean to offend I actually was very curious as to the main differences as it seems very hard to tell them apart!
