I have fed both black soldier fly larvae and Phoenix worm larvae. Because the black soldier fly larvae get significantly larger than any Phoenix worms I have had, I have been inclined to think that they are not in fact the same. Just my thoughts on the subject.

No change in habits--appetite still strong; activity level still good.Her skin feels different where the dark areas are.

I have a female nosey bey approximately 1 year old. Check out the attached picture of her. Do the spots on her abdomen look like something to be concerned about? I haven't experienced this before and wonder what those of you with more experience might suggest. Thank you. Allen

Excellent videos! Very impressive!!

Ok, so I followed the advice Malicious gave on previous post (see below) and have been successful at keeping silkworms alive. HOORAY!!! I have tried other strategies in the past to no avail. Thank you very much, Malicious. My question now is this: In light of the coming hot weather, I would...

Hi, I have been very successful with my roach colony. The only problem I have is not getting my chams interested in the roaches. Any suggestions on how you do it? They tend to want to hide when I release them in the cham cages. How do you handle this issue? Thanks. Allen

Thank both of you. I appreciate it. I will search the forum. I certainly hope that Jason recovers soon.

Has anyone had any correspondence with Jason at Herpmist in the past three weeks? I have emailed him twice but have gotten no reply. I hope that he is ok. If anyone on this board can help, it would be appreciated. I want to heat the water that my misting system uses. I think that it would be...

I also am very fond of Premium Crickets. Mike has been excellent to work with and the quantity always exceeds (in my estimation) what was ordered. He has my business! Allen

I am fond of the quality of supers (and crickets) that I get from Mike at http://www.premiumcrickets.com/. I buy supers 500 at a time and my chams love them. Mike offers very good service to customers. Please check him out. Allen

I hope that the weather is nice for you guys today. Here in Chicago it is VERY cold!! I will place an order with Chad in the next few days. Thanks. Allen

Is the floor made of screen too? These look really great. Also, I don't see them on your website. Are they a product that you plan to carry regularly or just temporarily? thank you. Allen

What a beautiful cham--DH. If I only had more space!!!

How about using agar agar and making a gellatin mixture that could be easily managed. Agar agar is a great food substance and I use it regularly, boiled with water then cooled, to feed superworms and mealworms. Works very well. Look up the food value of agar agar--it would be a great supplement...
