What is this bug!?!?!

[chameleons59]

So I was just feeding my chameleon and found this little bug in the cricket box. It is a few millimeters long. It usually just crawls around. So I gave it a box with some food and water (green jelly). Anyone know what this is? It is like a mini centipede

A little home I just made for it (temporary).

It's a caterpillar.

It's probably a Dermestid beetle larvae. Some cricket breeding operations use them to clean the bins of dead crickets.

its a meat eater, feed it crickets.... or chicken bones... zoos use them for creating bone displays... as do taxidermist...

Most of us would more than likely have thrown it out. You gave it a home with food. You're a special soul
