Tenebrio molitor, commonly known as the mealworm, is a highly versatile and nutritious larva, suitable for insectivorous reptiles of all sizes, from newborns to adults. Thanks to its crunchy texture and high fat content, it is especially useful as a temporary energy supplement , ideal for stimulating the appetite of more demanding or convalescing reptiles, as well as for hibernating or recovering reptiles.

Although not recommended as a staple diet due to its lipid profile, it is an excellent occasional “treat” for geckos (Gekko gecko, Eublepharis macularius), chameleons (Chamaeleo calyptratus, Furcifer pardalis), bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps), anoles, and other insectivorous reptiles.

Our Tenebrios are fed high-quality feed to ensure their nutritional value, resulting in a healthier food source for your animals. They are packaged just before shipping to ensure their freshness and vitality. Starting at 500g, and depending on the ambient temperature, they can be shipped loose in cardboard boxes to avoid moisture problems caused by the plastic, thus ensuring their optimal condition upon arrival. ✅

Perfect as a dietary supplement, economical and very easy to store.
