No unfortunately, but they seem like a worthwhile feeder to try out.

Yes, they are tiny for sure but I've seen them active during the day, and soft bodied. They may certainly have a use, much like our tiny green banana roach. Though most are nocturnal.

Gryllus veletis and Gryllus pennsylvanicus are what I've seen.

I find them to be a more "interactive" roach species, if you feed them by hand they will come to allow gentle handling, schedule their feeding during the day, and if they feel safe, they will come out and eat during the day, eventually they settle down and become an "all hours" roach type...

You need not trouble yourself, Periplaneta Missionary, at your service. Did I mention that Periplaneta species are an underrated roach as well.?

Team banded here too, that said some raising the various tree crickets maybe very helpful for dietary supplementation. I've also found banded aren't as likely to eat whatever they are being fed too, can't speak for the large black crickets I worked with up in Minnesota though, huge in...

Props for the skeletor avatar.

@DeremensisBlue has seen the light and is going to do TWO podcasts in the world's only true chameleons, the anoles. I may or may not have had a small part to play in this turn of events. Tonight Tomorrow I trust any proper "chameleon" enthusiast will turn up to take in the glory, and have a...

Shhh Cane toads can potentially kill humans with their toxin if ingested. I'm trying to clean the gene pool here

They should tell people the Rhinella marina toad produces a better effect, and they should lick that one instead.

That's a lot of words to say your not going to immediately start planting..... :p And yes they do like their weeds. You don't want to cross the Council of Tortoises they get mean. And they are always watching.

If you want him to stay plant some saw palmetto they use the roots as support for their burrows, and like to eat the fruit. Also prickly pear species, and their absolute favorite is the finger rot plant. (Cnidoscolus stimulosus) Also raspberry and black berry bushes are great tortoise...

I have been thinking, which is never a good thing, and I have questions: Are we REALLY reptile, or exotic animal keepers, or merely insect death enthusiasts? Inquiring minds want to know. @jamest0o0

It's not mine but any idea on what this girl will turn into as an adult?

I don't live in their natural range so that's not feasible lol. And when I did, they were very difficult to catch. :p

My favorite species is the Carolina locust, Dissosteira carolina, I wish more people would seriously work with them, very inoffensive as far as feeders go. Also nice and large, and some are even pretty.

Roaches and black solider fly larvae for me.

Me too it's really depressing.

I'm always going to shill black rat snakes Pantherophis obsoletus, and the blue beauty rats.

Dude you need halogen lights/mercury vapor to get them going. These are outdoor plants that worship the sun. Also I hope you've given them a yearly cycle of shortening and lengthening day light hours. Having read the rest of the thread I'm curious and excited to see if ypur jungle dawn will...
