For cleaning, I learned a lot from watching the YouTube videos from "the roach hut". You don't really have to touch them at all :). That really helped me since I developed an allergy to beetle frass!

Thanks for the reply!! The female I was thinking about trying in with the male is gravid right now and is NOT in a good mood :) Glad the window screen worked good for the crix!

I'm curious how the female is doing sharing the free range with the male?? Is she gravid in the video or just mad? I have a huge 15' set up for a couple of my ambanjas that is heavily planted and I'm thinking about having the male and female share this huge enclosure.

Search on YouTube for videos by " the roach hut". That gives you a step by step guide.

Thanks for that link!! That's what I am going to do tomorrow :D. I watched all of this other videos as well!!

Thanks for all of info shared here! I had a feeling it was the frass.......I am going to start taking precautions when I deal with these things :)

Check out my recent thread about stating the nymphs out. Had some great suggestions there!

That is what happens to me....but I start sneezing as well. Wy wife always knows when I have been cleaning out their tub because my eyes are all watery and itchy and start coughing and sneezing.......just like I am right now :mad:

Thanks for the help everyone!!! I will try out some of these ideas!! I HATE them crawling on me as well!!!

Chuck, I wish I could!!! I have developed an allergy to them so I try to handle them so I try to not handle them as often anymore :) I can try the collander tho!

I have had a pretty large colony of discoids for a few years and usually feed the half grown ones to my adult panthers. Now I would like to start feeding the really small nymphs to my babies. I hate trying to dig thru the whole thing trying to pick out the tiny ones. Is there a tip anyone has to...

My 11 year old son and I breed panthers as a father son project... I can tell you a little about what we do. We use a 5 gallon bucket with sand for the laying bin. This has worked great for us, except for one ambilobe that dug a hole 4 different times, buried half the eggs, dropped the other...

Are you sure the eggs are fertile??? What temperature have you kept them at?? How wet is the substrate they are in??

I live in MO....in KC.... I think you are on the other side of the state from me. Closer to the World Series Champs!

Awesome!! Better than I could do!

When you thought it was a Vit A problem what did you do to try and fix it?? Also, can you post a pic of what you are using to administer the oral meds?? My chams that get mad and open their mouth as soon I open the cage are easy to give oral meds to....but I have a couple of females that are...

Yep! That's Jag he is our naked ninja! We have a female as well. Jags is kinda like a dog, he will play fetch....the female doesn't do a darn thing.

Here is a pic of the cage i built. I will keep looking for a better one. Hopefully you can tell how I made it.

I'm curious what kind of moths you feed and where you get them from??

I used zip ties for hinges and that worked good for me. I just made one whole side into a door. I'll see if I can find a pic of it. It's nasty cold here in KC so I'm not using it right now.
