Your concern about choking is wise. It has happened. Mealworms are a readily available food but the not best choice for geckos, who have an amazingly short digestive tract. Mealworms are very chitinous and not tremendously nutritious so be sure to give those lizard kids some properly gut-loaded, small-sized crickets like the ones you can get from Critter Depot. Be sure to check out the guides I wrote on size and numbers of crickets and dubia roaches for leopard geckos for a little extra free info.
