I built my buckets like I saw on line and Youtube. I have a photo album on here with pictures of mine. I did order the worms to get my first bucket started. I keep mine right inside my walk in chameleon cage, which has ¼ inch mesh that I have seen the adult flies I released go through, and the...

I have two buckets going, from an initial order of 150 small I probably have 10,000 now from pupating the worms into adults that have laid eggs in my buckets. My chameleons love the adult flies too, but I’m not sure of the nutritional content of those. The grub phase is well documented to be...

I am constantly turning around seeing this lizard smacking his lips like he just ate something else but most of the time I have no idea what. I am amazed at the accuracy and ability to hit any moving or flying insect, fly or moth in mid air. These little anoles rob my feeder cups and probably...

This Panther will eat a lizard that gets into his big walk in cage, and some are fairly big for the common brown anoles. I don’t think they are bad for them when kept this way, which is almost like being in the wild here. This link is picture proof, if you need it. Don’t click if you don’t want...

You will find your tongs are so inferior to your fingers and hand they will be just useful for picking up old pieces of oranges and other foods. You will be really good at it in no time. Unless your house is 100 degrees, these roaches can not live very long, and will not reproduce if one...

One end of my walk in cage is a small shed that I keep all my crickets and BSF grubs that are pupating in a bin, it is basically outdoors. I have this common plastic shelf with the legs sitting in some teflon coated baking pans I got at a dollar store. They are filled with water and baby oil. I...

I cleaned some stale potato slices from my discoid bin and threw them in a disposable grocery store bag. I forgot to take it to the trash and let it sit overnight. When I checked the next day and threw something else in the bag I noticed a bunch of little nymphs in the bag that I guess were...

I don’t use a substrate, so cleanup is mostly using a small paint brush and sweeping all the frass, food dust and molts into a pile in one corner. I notice it is usually teeming with nymphs so be careful cleaning that stuff that you aren’t throwing out your newest roaches! I usually just leave...

They seem awfully labor intensive and dang they eat a lot! Better have a few mulberry trees handy.

I don’t count how many I put in there, but I restock it pretty much every day. I have a tall plastic cup with some calcium dust in the bottom, I tap a bit of egg crate from my cricket bin so a few fall into the cup, give them a shake and dump the cup into the feeder jug. I haven’t noticed any...

I am trying a test to see what foods my Discoid roaches prefer. I am using one of those daily pill containers, filling each little compartment with different foods to see which one gets eaten fastest. Partially out of boredom, but also I have been using a mix of potato buds, wheat germ, Gerber...

I made this bin to try to start a colony of Green Banana roaches, which are fairly fast and can fly. First hot glued some vent screen to one side. I cut two sheets of plexiglass or whatever plastic this was, not sure it was some scraps. The first became an inside rim cut exactly to fit...
