Leopard Gecko vs. HUGE Mealworms

[PurpleBurning]

Those mealworms are not BIG!!!! My friends leopard gecko ate 3 pinky mice! What a fatass

[sherry3732]

PUT MORE STUFF IN THE TANK!

[BrightEyes10003]

is that his feeding terrarium? because if that is where he lives, you should really do some renovations. he needs toys to climb on, a hut to live in, and proper bedding. that little thing lined with paper towels

[cptnzoso]

@BrightEyes10003 paper towels are a very good substrate... i bet you use sand like a fucker dont u..?

[BrightEyes10003]

@cptnzoso of course not, i use repticarpet. and yeah, paper towel is fine unless you have nothing to weigh it down with. i mean, look at :53 . that happened to my gecko when he used to be on paper towels and he accidentally ingested it. i had to take him to the vet for impaction and it cost me $200. i had taken everything out of the cage to feed him, and that happened. now i use repticarpet. so calm down.

[BruninhoTheLegend]

this is not good terrarium you suck -.-

[LeoMyGecko]

thts y u dont use paper towels :p

[AlphaGeckos]

lol you wear gloves, what a pussy! i pick em up with my bare hands because i'm a MAN. naww jk really nice gecko, looks healthy.

[savanaball]

medical gloves ??? oh gosh!!!

[blackops307]

lol he bit hte napkin

[blackops307]

ewwww you ate out of the chrios when the supeworms are in there

[blackops307]

ewwww you ate out of the chrios when the supeworms are in there

[DEZBRYANTFAN101]

i thought he was going to feed the cheerio to the leopard gecko

[resolana2007]

what size crickets did u feed him

[deathfrets]

dont feed em alot of that like the super worms cuz they have been know to eat the gecko inside out so i gues just cut the head off first also there really high in fat so dont feed them toooooo much

[nanoguy4098]

@deathfrets That myth really needs to die...I know a breeder who feed supers as staples. Out of his 200 current geckos, and the thousand he's bred and sold, he's NEVER lost one to a superworm. This myth typically flies around from stupid petstore employees. Known to eat the stomach? KNOWN? I've NEVER seen proof of a superworm eating the insides of a LIVE and HEALTHY gecko. There is very litte to no oxygen in a leo's stomach, once in there the worms fall unconcious and die from the acids. Sigh...

[JTYF2]

is that what you keep it in daily??

[BrittanyNicole1990]

it's good to have them in cheerios xD substrate + food. keep em nice and fat for your leo. awesome vid btw cute leo

[ratmanryan2]

Those are super worms. Nice gecko btw

[mabisera]

i like how there are 3 comments saying they are super worms.

my turn!

Hey they're superworms or zophobas apparently! :D

[NeoAndersonn]

Please next time a Parkinson's free cameraman :P

[MrPrelate1]

it is a superworm.

[funnyman3337]

myns is a couple of weeks old how long do they grow up too

[NyNeNe176]

wen u 1st grab the worm i thought u was gona feed the leo cherrios for a sec until i saw a worm movin in there ...lol...kewl leo....what kind is it

[lay235]

Dude, They aren't fully aware of when to stop eating... if u overfeed them they can become sick and die. Their stomach is only as big as the distance bettween their eyes 8 or 9 is WAY too much

[illistdudealive200]

YES!!!! finally another hispanic that keeps leos!!!! lmao

subscribed :)

[ethan42westall]

[stealthockey]

keep mealworms in the dish 24/7 and feed it crickets every 2nd day

[lizardcrazy567]

[LeOpardGeckoKid9]

[gom1206]

[A1T1L]

hey could i feed my leopard gecko mealworms as a stapled diet?

[GeckoNub325]

if you mean like a fixed diet yes you can. thats all i feed mine cause he hates crickets and other worms so that wat he gets. lol

[SchwartzyD123]

u should crush the cheerios so its easier for the mealworms to eat the whole grain

[MooDogProductions]

Hahaha i love your voice and your ghecko is cute

[laughterof95]

Cute Gecko!!!!

[yougotspoofed]

how big is the tank 15 gallon or 20 gallon long.

[GeckoNub325]

thanks. my gecko eats kills them instanly. dont worry i observe him

[SanDiegosOwn]

Sweet dude. Hey i got a baby Leopard Gecko do u know how many mealworms to feed it? (its like 1 month old)

[GeckoNub325]

umm non that are bigger than its head cause it cant eat them and umm crickets are preffered.

[hippyyippyhippy]

those are giant mealworms and aren't good for leopard geckos because they are fed steroids to get that big

[UchihaMartin]

And better crush their heads before feeding it to the gecko, they can bite him from the inside.

They are really tough to kill.

[Watermelon5689]

no, those are superworms.

[itwasaladream]

There zophobas "superworms" they live in tropical areas and need a heated enviornment, when with a mealworm they can be stored away in the fridge. There cousins there not fed steroids.

[GeckoNub325]

thanks for clarification XD

[EwiekeuReptile]

Take your gloves off!! lol

[Tottenhamr]

lmao wen he bites the paper accidently lol

[GeckoNub325]

yes well he does it every single time

[harroleopardgecko]

nice gecko how old is it

[Bankage2189]

You have a very beautiful gecko. ^_^

[radclif1]

strange colour of yours

[reptilekee]

thats a fast mealworm

[GeckoGuyProductions]

hmmm... i mite try to keep my mealworms in chereos lol

[GeckoNub325]

yeah well it worked lol

[bnelson87]

For the record, most breeders feed their geckos mealworms, and because of the breeders' large volume of geckos, I highly doubt they take the time to kill each one. Furthermore, I have also read statistics that leopard geckos on a diet of mealworms get larger and live longer.

[camhaystax]

it is a super worm dumb ass

[GeckoNub325]

hey hey calm down damn. so defensive and excited

[blizzardleos]

it actually is a mealworm. a i have bred them for my geckos and they get that big. super worms arent that orange anyways.

[GeckoNub325]

thanks for the support

[blizzardleos]

no problem

[GeckoNub325]

RATE PEOPLE COME ON!!!

[MamboPython]

a good idea is to cut the mealworms head off and tong feed the gecko, just move it around so the gecko thinks its alive.

[GeckoNub325]

I now make sure he kills them. hes a really eficient killer. You here the crunch so i know its dead and it stops moving.

[MamboPython]

you may be like whatever its all good but think about it, how hard is it to just switch of meal worms? not haRD at all, just feed butter, wax, horn, silk worms along with crickets and vitamines and you have a healthy varied diet. Im just trying to save you the sight of a mealworm burrowing its way out of your pretty geckos stomoch.

[GeckoNub325]

for me its pretty hard to switch from mealworms because they ONLY sell crickets and i dont want to get them of the internet. so i will make sure the mealworm is dead. Mine doesnt want to eat right now but hes done this before.

[Sandalphon22]

That's an old myth, they are dead when the gecko swallows them, if the bite doesn't kill them the trip down the esophagus will.

Plenty of Geckos are fed mealworms exclusively as their live food and they live long and healthy lives.

[MamboPython]

no problem, meanworms may seem alright to feed however, mealworms do bite will burrow and eat thier way ut of whatever eats them if they are not digested/eaten properly, if your gecko gets a bad hit and swallows one without killing it, that mealworm can do serious dameage, and i know for a fact because this happened to my frog, the mealworms will bite if they come in contact with your animal. That is why mealworms = bad

[MamboPython]

aah! meal worms = bad!!!

[GeckoNub325]

Take that back or elaboratly explain why mealworms=bad? d

[ScaRFacE088]

Nice leopard gecko ;)

[GeckoNub325]

Thanks man. I really dont know i foyu have one but alright then. Thanks for subscribing!!
