never seen them pass whole mealworms. Sometimes if they eat too much or their temp is too low they will regurgitate them.


:I dunno what happened, all of my hatchlings have been taking in mealworms and crickets fine, but today when I was looking through their enclosures, I noticed some undigested mealworms. Anyone know how to prevent this from happening?? Im assuming the acid content of their stomach's arent strong enough to digest the hard exoskeleton of the mealworms so what would help make their stomachs more acidic. I took out all the mealworms and Im currently feeding them crickets at the moment.
