Death by mealworm...?

[GeckDude]

I recently read on a random article about leopard geckos that an excessive amount of mealworms can potentially kill a gecko? Is that even remotely true? I thought they ate at their own discretion. They aren't goldfish....so what's the deal?

Your geckos will most likely never stuff themselves to death...

No. :main_no:

The only time I've ever seen a leo eat too much, he regurgitated the last few he'd eaten, then went about his business.

I didn't think it was true either but I wanted to be positive. Better safe than sorry! Thanks for the reassuring responses!

Not true at all. My girls lover there superworms, but they know when there done.

Yup, just like Heather said if they eat to much, out comes the mealworms.
