Silly Question,sorry....

My 8 year old daughter wanted me to ask a question for her. She is terrified of touching mealworms and superworms. She thinks that they're going to bite her so she uses little plastic tweezers to pick them out individually. Anyway, the question is will they bite? I haven't been bit yet but she doesn't trust her Mom's opinion :main_rolleyes: Thanks

they do not bite however the superworms will grab on to your finger or hand and it sometimes feels weird. some people prefer to use tweezers. if you are looking for some big ones to use to feed. check out cody @ http://www.progeckos.com

Thanks, she'll probably still use tweezers but I'll let her know :main_yes:
Thanks for the link too.

I have been bit by a mealworm, but it doesn't hurt at all! They have teeny tiny mouths and can't do much more than scratch you.

Thanks though
