In my own opinoin supers,or any mealies in fact don't move very much as they are contained to a bowl.You can however use tongs and just stick the super in the Gecko's face.The squirming motion will get the Gecko interested real quick...

Trust me, if she likes things that move alot, she'll love supers. They're actually quite fast. They're also huge, i find my female gets more excited over larger food items. L8er

She loves things that moves, and I think she is getting sick of crix...and I gave her a wax worm, and it was really wiggly, and she ate it right away. How does it compare to wax worms? more or less wiggly? I can't find them anywhere, so I am going to have to order them offline I guess.

Superworms would almost compare to a roach in movement..they're much quicker than the smaller mealworms..My geckos eat a steady diet of mealworms..supplemented with crix and waxworms every once in a while...My male blizzard refuses to eat anything but mealworms..and my breeding female will eat anything..including fingers *L* If it moves..she'll take a try at it....The superworms are for my newest addition..a Savannah Monitor Lizard...Plus I give a few to my geckos..my feeder rats and my gerbils..everyone loves em..

Supers dont wiggle but move pretty fast for a type of worm, trust me shell notice it, they're way more "wiggly" that waxies.
You are so lucky Lucien, I love savannahs, but being only 13, id never be able to get one. L8er

Superworms, ie Zophobas morio?
Only the younger, small ones would be appropriately sized for leos, anyhow....a large superworm is a formidable creature....
They move around plenty...give you a nasty pinch, too, strong jaws.
I used to feed these to my water dragon. I would not offer them to anything smaller than a beardie, really.
Don't house them with crickets. They'll eat the crickets.
