Congrats Tom. How old is Roxy?
I have a beardie laying a clutch right now. I'm going to dig it up and throw them out. I was too lazy to dig up her last clutch that she laid a few weeks ago, so now I'm gonna have to incubate the eggs that made it.

I don't use it personally. If your a beginner, I'd recommend greens like Collards and Mustards. They are proven effective. Sounds like a nice, stimulating treat though :)
Spike looks big so I'd recommend supers.
I've read a lot of troubled threads with mealworms and young dragons. It seems that husbandry has to be good in order to feed them. So in that respect, I wouldn't recommend mealies.
