I do feed Zoophobas "super worms". I raise my own, so I have a lot to select from and I choose those that are freshly shed, they will appear near white rather than the normal amber with dark ends. I think they are a good choice, as they are active and trigger a good feeding response, are easy to raise and appear to be a good food source. Ron Tremper, a legendary breeder, uses them extensively. However, my fat tails too have regurgitated them, but usually it is the old animals that have eaten a lot at one sitting. I suggest feeding freshly shed and in moderation, not more than 2 or 3 at a time. They should be a part of the diet, not exclusive. The chitonous, horny skin of worms may be an irritant, but I am not sure, I have just heard that dogma over the years. Same with Tenebrio (meal worms). Good luck, Vic
