Technically, mealworms are bad prey, especially because of their hard shell made of chitin. I think you might consider waiting for them to get larger before you give a try with mealworms. Impaction might occur at their young age. Waxworms? Nice and fatty, occasional treat to fatten your leos would be a good choice.
I've had my leos for 3 years one almost 4 and most of their diet has been mealworms since they were small. Your leos will be fine on mealies trust me i know many poeple who use them. They are easy to breed and make great feeders when gut-loaded. Plus their great for when you go on vacation because you can just leave them in a bowl and their good to go. I've always been a worm guy and I hate crickets so my reptiles get alot of worms in their diet.
where do i get wax worms?the pet store? ill pick up some melies wax worms and some calcium dust. but what about my water question. will he be fine with a waterbowl for his shedor should i put in a tupaware container wit some wet paper towels?
Wow you seriously got another gecko. Are you housing them together? Probably. I don't even understand why you ask us for our opinions and then do the opposite. What's the point of even posting.

Dude seriously just google leopard gecko care because you are asking alot of basic husbandry questions. You will literally get 100's of care sheets. Read as many as you can and they will tell you everything you need to know. Now to answer your question yes you can get mealies from the pet store. As for shedding a humid hide is a good idea. Just cut a little hole in a Tupperware container and fill lit with moss, paper towels, exco earth, etc...
Nice morph! I just have a good old regular leo they are really cool and can have tons of personality if given the chance!
