There is a beetle that is quite large in my terrium. I’ve seen them before in my Chameleons enclosure but didn’t think anything of it. What should I do? Anyone know what it is or where it can from?
I have an attachment with a photo of it.

Re: Black beetles in my enclosure
Hi,
Sorry I can't see the attachment if you can try posting again. Do you feed mealworms/superworms by chance? Any escapees that aren't eaten will pupate and develop into beetles if given the opportunity, I have seen this happen myself. They will be roughly the size of your little fingernail.

Re: Black beetles in my enclosure
Superworm beetles are about an inch long and will appear after uneaten superworms escape and metamorphosize into beetles thereafter. I breed my own superworms so are quite familiar with them.
