King Worm substrate?

[reptile boi]

Hey,

Does anyone know how long it takes for a king worm to pupate? Mine are about 1-1.5" long and its been a while. Also, do they grow as fast as mealies?




Thanks,
Ben

Does the link I posted not work for you? It is fairly explicit about the topic .

Hey Reptyle,

It states how long it takes for a pupae to turn into a beetle but not how long it takes for a worm to turn into a pupae which was what i was asking for.





Thanks,
Ben

Place container in a warm, dark area and leave alone for about 7-10 days. In the dark, the worm will start to curl up into a ball and then change into a pupae.

Info was right there under the section to get beetles faster on the link page

Thanks,

The link you posted was regard Superworms wasn't it Reptyle?

I'm pretty sure Kingworms and Superworms are two different things.

Edit:

*Wipes some egg off his face* Well then, so much for that theory Seems I was wrong Super and King worms are indeed the same thing.

I always call them king mealies but have seen them called superworms more often than not. a potato/ potata kind of thing just so long as everyone knows what everyone else is talking about lol.
