Mealworm egg ??

How long does it take for the beetles to lay eggs,and how long untill I will see the baby worms?

The take about a month I believe to lay eggs and it will be about two weeks before you start seeing babies . It depends on your tempature and elevation tho . I live at 7000+ ft and have them at room tempature .

Be sure to separate the beetles from the worms tho or else the beetles will eat all your new worms !!

I think my elevation is pretty low..lol. I keep them in my reptile room,which is around 82*

Once the beetles turn black they are ready to mate, so say 2 weeks to mate, one week to lay egg, and another 2ish weeks to hatch. Everything depends on temps tho!
