probably either ate too much or the mealworms were too big for him

Are you sure it's poop? Sounds like a regurgitated meal to me. There are a few reasons this could happen:
Mealworms too large.
Overate.
Handleing after feeding.
Stress after eating.

I would not be concered - just keep an eye on him for a week or so. Make sure this does not become constant, his personality does not blatantly change, and he still continues to eat/drink.
