Small mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are hard shelled animals, these are the ones you buy in the tubs and keep in the refrigerator. There is also a "super" mealworm that is a steroid version of the small mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) which is also thick shelled. The King mealworm (Zophobas artratus) is not THAT thick shelled of a meal worm. There is just alot more good stuff inside of a king mealworm vs. the mealworm. so, i think that you should be sticking with crickets for smaller animals, and as they grow larger, you could be feeding them king meal worms. But also remember there have been generations of animals raised on small mealworms with no side effects. And reptile keeping is a hobbie, not scientificaly proven.
