Looks like theyre enjoying them yeah Smile I don't see the harm in feeding any other food items though, crickets will give them a bit of a run around if they can be bothered chasing them Smile Pinks and waxworms are great for breeding and recovering females..

As a staple mealies are great, variation is a good thing too

if you do stick to just mealworms, try feeding the mealworms a spoon full of dog food before then feeding your lizards.
