Can Gargoyle Geckos Eat Superworms?

Never feed — unsafe

Quick answer

No. Superworms should never be fed to an gargoyle gecko. Large, high-fat, and heavily armoured with chitin — a poor match for a gecko that is not adapted to crunching through large hard-bodied prey the way an insectivorous species is.

Large, high-fat, and heavily armoured with chitin — a poor match for a gecko that is not adapted to crunching through large hard-bodied prey the way an insectivorous species is. Strong jaws are not what makes a superworm risky; the size and shell are. Skip these for gargoyles.
