If you're buying bul lik 500grms i'd say go for mini mealworms... then they will last longer as they'll gron to regular meal worms size then turn into the beetles... if you buy bulk of regular meal worms... you'll get beetles alot quicker.

I normally buy 2 boxes of crickets and 1 box of mealworms once a month for 2 geckos.

A box of mealies will probably last a long while, ours last us ages with 3 leos who have around 8 - 10 per day each. The normal size mealies do go into alien form quick if kept warm but if you have a cool place they wouldnt
