ive never seen anything like this personally and ive always been into herps but never got any until recently so i am not new to herps
but i dont think this could realy happen with larger herps
mostly babies because of there smaller tummies

Hard to believe. Anyway, impossible with fish.

Ive heard of this as well, hence I gutload and freeze mine before feeding...

I've heard it about superworms but not the small meal worms. Some people snip the heads off the superworms before feeding.

Hence why I haven't fed any of my herps mealworms in over 15 years.

Aparently the animals eat the worms, then start to look letargic, a bump apears in the abdominal area of the animal, the owner takes the animal to the vet, the vet opens it and its a mealworm STILL ALIvE
