Oops! Spelled it wrong didn't I?! I agree, any of those beetle larva are a pain in the bum to see. Like little eyelashes. Grrrr...hate them!

Maybe I'm crazy, but since I started using this recipe, my veileds don't nibble at their leaves as much. And maybe I'm reaching a little, but their colors seem a little more intense. Everyone knows how much prettier they can be when they are exposed to natural light outside. I live in OH so it...

Yah, I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes as far as doing this little trick from the get go!LOL Better late than never. I love the idea of drilling holes on the bottom too. Learn something new every day, right?! Charging up the drill as we speak. Love a good opportunity to fire up the power...

Sneaky sneaky little buggers they are!

We were sooo tired of die-offs too! I don't mind spending on feeders as long as i can get them to live long enough to use them! Seems to help us, so hope it does for anyone else too.:)

I've always used the egg crates that came with the crickets and just laid them flat in my bin, then, my husband had an awesome idea the last order I got in...instead of laying the egg crates flat, he suggested lining them up vertically.To my amazement, fewer dead ones!

When I first started caring for chams, I gutloaded their feeders daily trying to change up what fruits and veggies I used. Started thinking about how I could make sure that my feeders could be fed to provide the best nutrition possible for my chams. I'm sure I'm not the first person ever to use...

Most people who sell dubia will have the cardboard egg flats too. It IS ok to use flats from stores as long as they are baked off which will kill all bacteria. Using these are important for your colony for a few reasons: they provide extra surface area, provide places to hide, and they make it...

It's true, they can't climb smooth surfaces. They can't bite or fly even though the males have wings. I use a little feeder cup if I'm feeding the nymphs to my smaller chams but if I'm feeding an adult dubia to an adult cham, then I use the rubber tipped feeder tongs. I prefer not to leave any...

The little black beetles you find in cricket orders are domestic beetles. They put them in there to eat the dead crickets. Harmless. Never heard of the cleaning crew thingamajig. I breed dubia roaches and have never had to use anything like that. Dubia live much longer than crickets therefore...

I always use a household 60w bulb and have had great success with them. I use a clamp lamp from home depot. Comes in a couple sizes, I use the smaller. If you don't mind putting a hole in you ceiling, then, use a hook to suspend the light and this makes it easier to adjust the distance of the...

Guilty:D My kids call me the crazy lizard lady. Cant help it. With so many to care for, it's a full time job! Here's a little box of crazy for ya...I play jungle sound CDs and classical music for them too. And I have sparkling conversation with each and every one! I do everything you all do...

If he is a sub-adult then he may have hit a plateau in his growth for a little while and will eat less. Once they hit their adult growth spirt then watch out! Mine will become little eating machines and shed a lot!

She's an amazing female panther and you are an amazing photographer! And I'm not gonna lie...I had to do a double take on that title too.:D

Male panthers have beautiful coloration even at rest. The colors and markings intensify when they get fired up. Usually the reds under the neck the most. The female panthers, however, are more shades of peach and tan,sometimes brownish, with black showing up when stressed or fired up. Male...

It sounds like you are light years ahead of most girls your age(may I assume high school?). My mom always told me to "Choose your battles". Seems appropriate in many facets of life. I know it can be really really hard to rise above other's ignorance and rudeness...but practice makes perfect...

There is never a reason to say sorry for having an opinion! I appreciate hearing what other people have to offer to any discussion especially done with respect and manners. I try to always value and actually "hear" what others have to say.Thanks for showing me another view point to think about!:)

I absolutely love sleepy pics! Their colors are amazing, aren't they?! Gorgeous boy you got there!

List or no list...if a plant is even in question among an educated community, then go with what most of us do agree on! Better safe than sorry.

It's kind of like getting a puppy or kitten...wait and see how they look or cute little things they do to spark an idea for a name. I've even been known to change their name if I get the hankerin' to. I'm a girl and I'm allowed to be fickle if I feel like it! LOL:D
