Super worms don't have to be refrigerated. So get your Leo and a thing of mealworms (just in case) and a thing of medium super worms. You don't HAVE to keep mealies in the fridge, they just start to pupate if you don't. Supers can live for months as long as you feed them (which you should do anyways)

For one gecko, probably get like 50-100. You probably won't go through that many but idk how small of packs they come in. Once they pupate they turn into beetles about 2 weeks later. Or sooner

The beetles are okay, from what I understand, to feed your gecko ONLY when they're freshly molted, before they turn dark. If they're black, they're no good. If they're white or slightly tan, they're okay. Mine LOVES the fresh beetles.
