A friends of mine had a dragon and he fed it mealworms and it died. So please dont feed mealworms or superworms to your dragons.

I doubt it was from the mealworms. Or if it was, it was probably too big for his dragon, and it that is what hurt him. Mealworms are fed to beardies a lot, I give mine some in their salad sometimes. They create variety, and other kinds of nutrition that is needed. Just don't feed them mealworms everyday, because they don't take the place of other bugs.

Did your friend feed his dragon anything else? How old was the dragon? Little vaque in details here. Feeding too many at one time or ones that are too big for the age of the dragon, can be very harmful, leading to impaction and paralysis. If he fed mealworms exclusively then they would klll a dragon for many reasons. Touch chicinous exoskeletons, too large, improper nutrician, parasites and disease due to improper diet etc.
