Super Grubs

[lttype]

I have some super grubs coming for my gecko's and was wondering if I can feed them to my Chameleon? They say that they are high in calcium and she is gravid so I thought they would be good for her also.

I have never heard of a super grub before.

You mean super worms? Meal worms? Pheonix worms? Silk worms? Horn worms? Actual grubs?

Find a pic and post it, most bugs are fine for chameleons but just be sure.

Super Grubs (compare to phoenix worms, reptiworms, and calciworms). Very good source of calcium!

The correct name for those is pheonix worms. The "super grub" is just a gimmick for marketing them.

They look nothing like Phoenix worms they are white with dark segments, phoenix are creamish in color and no dark segments

Then in that case, I have a mission for you. Find out the actual latin name of these mystery market name grubs. Because that's the closest thing they actually look like.

"Grubs" the ones that you dig up out of your garden sometimes aren't these. These are probably chitinous and flat. The dark lines you see is just dirt probably. Unless they are actually grubs with red heads popping out of dirt lol

Phoenix worms are soldier fly larvae. The phoenix worm is the brand name.
