    Silkworm Pods

    Hello All, I just recieved my first silkworm pod from Coastal. I was wondering if it is best to just leave the silkies in the pod or transfer them into a bigger container. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks

    Silkworm Container

    Thanks for the info. Something else I was wondering is, If I put this plastic netting at the bottom for the waste to fall thru, do the silkies need branches or anything to climb on or should I let them stay on the plastic neeting.

    I just oredered Phoenix Worms and A Silkworm pod from Coastal for my adult veiled chameleon. My hopes are to get away from dealing with crickets as a feeder.

    Made My Own

    That setup is awesome. I have a couple of questions. So you have only one hole in the bottom of the bottle. How did you make that hole leakproof after you inserted the tube? Also, in order to close off the end of your drip tube, did you just fold it back over onto itself? I want to try making...

    Cricket Container Question

    Hello All, I am keeping my feeder crickets in a 10 gallon aquarium. I am looking for advice to provide easier cleaning of the aquarium.
