"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

I feed it mealworms. After a while, mealworms turn into a pupae(sp?) and then into a beetle. I was putting the mealworms into a container to dust them with calcium powder, when I knocked the container over. Mealworms all over the floor. I managed to collect them all and feed them to the lizard.
Or so I thought.
About 2 weeks later, I'm getting ready for bed, and spot something on my pillow. It's a mealworm beetle. Turns out I hadn't cleaned up as thorough as I though I had. I managed to get it in some tweezers and dropped it in the vivarium. Lick the gecko enjoyed his beetle.

I recently done similar, but a fraction worse.
These are standard sized mealworms:

These are standard sized Morio worms:

This is a near 7ft tall by nearly 10ft long assortment of vivs.

Guess where I managed to knock a box of Morio worms??
I shall catch them at some point.
