The ants are most likely going after the water. If your enclosure has legs, place them in containers of water to keep the ants from being able to enter.

Ive wondered about the spots too, so when I found a female in my yard with them on her back leg and tail I decided to keep her for a bit to observe. I am kinda starting to wonder if its just genetic. She is just starting a shed so Im curious to see if it effects it.

thats crazy lol its good that hes alright though

they are phoenix worms. phoenix worms are soldier fly larva. the black ones still do move for a time. my jackson will nab a black one that moves a little over some squirming white ones.

Good artist for your back. I cannt tell you how much I hate a shitty tattoo.

You have come to the right place. I dont think Ive ever seen a question that somebody somewhere didnt know the answer to. Welcome.

I have never bred panthers before so I dont know what the "norm" is. Animals can have fertility problems just like us, so it is possible that your male could have a lower than average sperm count.

There are several recommended on this site. I personally order from www.coastalsilkworms.com. I have been very pleased every time I order anything from them.

Yeah I read your article. I use the plastic stuff from the hobby store so the poop goes through the holes. (great idea by the way) Im hatching out more eggs right now so Im going to try a few different ways with this batch. I had a few more deaths, but the ones alive seem to be doing well...

Im keeping them in a plastic recycling container that has the lid that folds closed. When I close it I dont clasp the lid sections together I lay one on top of the other so there is still air coming in. I cleaned out all the dead ones and only took the ones that looked healthy into a new...

I have a couple hundred silkwoms. When I went to feed them just now I opened the container to a horrible stink and liquified bodies everywhere. Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong? I hatched them a month ago and have only had a couple deaths and cannt figure out anything I did different...

is that rice park?

I had my Jackson's in two seperate cages and the female could still see the male and she was super stressed. I put up a blind and now she is fine so I would guess that if you keep them together she will be a mess.
