Question Thing that make you go hummmm????

Ok been thinking about this one for a while and there isn't much on the net that I could find so let see what we can come up with here.
There are many feeder worms that are fed a hormone to stop them from pupating, which makes the worm get larger. Makes sense.

NOW what happens to the reptiles when they are fed these worms?
Do they not become sexually mature, or does it take longer for them to mature?
Wax worms and king worms are fed these hormones to make them bigger. There is probley more but I do know these two are hormone induced.

We have seen this problem with today's young people becoming mature a lot sooner then they should because of all the hormones in today's foods.

Just one of those things that makes you go hummmmm????
