Ok, so for the last few weeks, I've noticed that some of the mealworms that escaped my leos' dish have turned into beetles and are reproducing. There are baby mealworms all over in my leo's substrate.
At first I thought, "How cool, now I don't have to buy them!"
I know these guys will probably be healthier than ones bought at the store because I leave food in there for them now and know they are probably less likely to pass on parasites to my leos.
I am just curious, (as usual), is there any 'side-effects' to letting mealies breed in my leos' enclosure?
Here's their home:
