nice. thats how i was going to do it. thank you very much for the pics!!! i have some nymphs on the way. When being used as feeders...how much do they to fly in the cage. I want to encourage this flight/flying at least a little to trigger my female jackson appetite. ...are they attracted to the...

Can any of the current banana roach keepers tell me how you keep your colony. I hear they do better off of fruit and much more humidity as to say lobsters or dubias..??

SHOOOT you guys....so i found the roaches im looking for...but now you guys got me checking out NEW bugs as pets!!! the site 'bugs in cyber space' has rhino beetles!!! I didnt even know people where keeping these in the states... so guess what i just ordered!

yea, right now im waiting on replies back from roachcrossing. ill look into the other site as well.

First off I'd like to wish everyone a happy holidays! Id really like to know if anyone is keeping green banana roaches? Is there a good site to buy some? TY TY

Here is a cute pic of my female, shes hanging in there. Getting ready for the weather with her snail hat! This clip is of her eating a snail, using a different eating method. http://s295.beta.photobucket.com/user/sulfurboy1o3/media/VIDEO0056.mp4.html Hope you enjoy!!

Yea i already use roaches and crickets and all the other domestically bred feeders. I need a staple supply of these other feeders... Ive tried witholding food. Hasnt worked yet.

Hey you guys. Ive been struggling to get my female jacksons to eat anything other then tiny snails and flies. I offered these items once a few months ago as variety to the diet and now im stuck using these two because thats all she will eat. Now that my area is running low on tiny snails and...

very nice cage, but as far as shelf life....not too long. I cant tell if your wood is protected or not, but withthe amount of water we use, you may notice the wood soak up water and start to mold and stink.

I use citter litter bins that sorta fit to catch water in that general area of heaviness. Tapplastic.com if you have them in your states, or a similar store. You can also ask them make a hole in diameter that you wanted, so you dont hvae to. what are your cage dimensions?

well... some people here use smart phones and just angle it right(i). if youre trying to take insane shots, get a canon or other dslr camera. Those can be a little fussy but if you can understand chameleons, you can understand a chamera. :P

wait her out, they do it a lot. I had to start using flies to trigger my girl back to regular feedings. she is still drinking which is great!

Its not a good idea to feed a female jacksons a lot. Maybe 4 to 5 items every other day. Also, crickets are still ok to use but there are items much more healthier and maybe can trigger her to eat if she goes longer without food. more then 10 days and id worry more then.

try to get more plants up in there .

judging just by the last pic, he looks like a subadult, yound adult. He could eat a bit more but and def needs to catch up of drinking... Try spraying a ton, a drip system and even a mysting system in play. You should also try food items that are a bit healthier then just crickets for him...
