All orders Shipped same day or next day Except Friday and Saturday. We used to ship on those days, but with some of the recent USPS changes it adds an extra day in transit which we find best to avoid.
Care instructions: On arrival of Superworms, place them in a slick-sided container with bedding material. When bedding becomes sandy in appearance, add more substance such as corn meal, wheat germ, or rolled oats. Provide a moisture source through small pieces of potatoes, carrots or apples. Do not refrigerate Superworms as it is too cold and will kill them. Superworms can withstand heat up to 90 F.
Superworms are the larva stage (stage 2) of the Morio beetle. Supers will not change into a pupa or beetle as long as they are kept together in a group with other superworms. Superworms have a life expectancy of around three months, and can stay in the larvae stage up to a year.
The scientific name for a Superworm is "Zophobas morio" and is also referred to as "Kingworm." This species of larvae is native to Central and South America. They are a very popular pet food item which can be fed to Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Lemurs, Sugar Gliders, Hedgehogs, Spiders, Birds, Turtles, and other exotic pets. Due to their large size and rapid movement they will easily grasp the attention of your exotic pets. They can also be used for fresh/salt water fishing
