jobi,
I'm not sure about the carrot thing. It seems more likely that the mealworms have caused some type of digestive problem as a result of the hard exoskeletons. I have found that with smaller lizards, a diet of exclusivly mealworms can lead to regurgitation, and refusal of foodstuff. There was an instance where I was feeding a carniviorous diet consisting of mainly mealworms to all my carniviorous lizards. There was a point where, after eating their fill of the worms, all the lizards except a blue tegu, either threw up the worms, which were hardly digested, or died. I think that an exclusive diet of these worms is just too hard on most lizards, and can lead to impactions or a loss of tolerance for the food. I hope this helps you.

Regards, Evan
