What are Giant Mealworms?
Giant mealworms are normal mealworms (Tenebrio molitor beetle larvae) which have been treated with a insect growth hormone that acts as an insect growth regulator.
This hormone prevents larvae from turning into beetles, which makes them to grow bigger than usual. Some will morph into beetles, however they are sterile.
S-Methoprene is not known to cause illness in reptiles and amphibians, but it may affect pet invertebrates such as tarantulas and scorpions.
Don't be fooled by others, there is no other way to grow a Giant Mealworm
