Personally i avoid feeding meal worms to any of my reps as they are hard for them to digest.

Mealworms should be fine to feed, not tried it myself but i feed our leos and BD them and they digest them fine, i think it may depend on the animal try them and see how they go?

I'm sorry but this is really inaccurate. Some and i repeat that SOME reptiles find the chitin found on meal worms difficult to digest, mainly being bearded dragons and some geckos. They're not hard to digest for ALL reptiles and are a very very good staple food.
