You might want to tell your Brother to go easy on the mealworms he feeds his Dragon. 100 a week is FAR too many.

I didn't read the posts, but I personally don't like to feed out mealworms. They do burrow too fast most of the time and most scorpions don't seem to have the instinct to dig for them, though I can tell they sense the mealworm just under the surface moving around. I have seen some stick their claws a little down into the substrate to search around, I can't remember what sps I saw do that but I think it was a H. swammerdami. But it wasn't very far that it went with doing that. I think a variety is best. I grow my own feeders, Hisser nymphs and dubias is what I feed out. I've also been raising "super crickets" and feed those out but much less often because of reproduction issues. Over here they tend to make each other a snack as they grow no matter how much protein I put in there. I like feeding out crickets the best so now and then I go to pet store and get a few dozen, get a coke, popcorn and watch the action haha.
