Mealworms in weed container
I just got some mealworms from someone local and the container the mealworms are in was used for weed. Will that hurt my leopard gecko

Very interesting. And I agree with you about avoiding smoke too.

I would say “toss it all “. Too risky as most would call it contaminated. Can you get a refund? Consider a new supplier.

Because feeding mealworm edibles to a reptile seems risky so I'd toss if there were still drugs in there but not if it was simply the odor. Or like someone else said find out how long food is in their system and go from there but THC in human systems lasts a long time so that's another concern. For the price of some worms I'd probably look for a new supply.
But about the "smell", did you see this?

I totally agree that it's time for a better source. (And they're actually quite easy to raise your own mealworms too- I did, back when I kept geckos & other lizards.)
