    Bug in enclosure... ?
    I found TWO of these bugs in my Savannah Monitor enclosure today...
    I don't know anything about bugs, at all... Looks like some kinda beetle?
    No idea...
    He walked up to them, looked at them, and licked them... but didn't eat them.
    I removed them from the enclosure and threw them outside...
    Anyways, what is it? Is it harmful? How did it get in the enclosure?
    Hmm...

    Do you feed or have ever fed superworms/mealworms to her? Looks like a morio/darkling beetle. Which is what the worms turn to :)

    It wont harm her, I take them out when I find them and set them up in a container with bran and carrots hoping that they will breed :)
