WOW! I'd like to find some of those to replace the mealworms I can't get! Most of my juveniles are too small to eat the full-sized King mealworms. Can you email me and let me know where they came from?

Honestly, they look like supers to me...half of them at least. When the supers are smaller they can look a lot like mealies, but they get darker in the med-large range like many in the photos.

If they're not Supers, they may be "Giant" Mealies (AKA "Kings" I believe), but I don't know if there are issues with them or not.

I'm a huge fanboy of the supers since we switched. They don't bug my allergies which is.....ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I would say 90% of our geckos have converted. The smalls are just that, small, and great for the newborns. We love em.

Yup, looks like small supers to me too. If they're smaller than mealies, I would love to know where you got them. As my suppliers normally just ships all Supers and we have to pick out the smallest to give to the hatchlings.

I am using those - they are Medium Supers I believe. The cost is 3 times what I used to pay for Mealworms though.
