Ants need a queen to reproduce. I think ants would be an extremely poor choice as a feeder.

I'm not surprised your landlord vetoed the roaches. :) I have a colony of dubia, but everyone gets all freaked out when they see them. Try to keep your crix as dry as possible, with good ventilation. This will cut down on the smell and keep them alive. I can't think of anything that you...

I would be careful using the bowl unless it dries out once per day. Warm water is really good for bacteria.

Mantids would be very expensive to grow as a feeder. They also take a long time to grow. And lastly, they are too cool to use as a feeder. Check out mantidforum.net for more info on them.

I bred Senshi (aka Dr. Gonzo jr.) today. He looked really good, so I snapped a few pics with my phone.

Ok I googled it and found they can blister from burns. It can also be a sign of reptile blister disease. Sounds like you need to see a vet.

I thought I read somewhere that reptiles don't get blisters.

I don't trust superworms at all. I don't think they are very easily digested.

I do use 6500k bulbs with UVB bulbs. I don't believe they help plants grow anymore than other fluorescents though. The 6500k only refers to the color temperature. You would need a bulb specifically dedicated to growing to have any benefit.

Well I appreciate the help guys! She laid today while I was at work! :) 29 eggs, but 5 look nasty and were soft.

Kara- thanks so much for the reply! I thought it was thirty days. That's a load off my mind. :)

What experience do you guys have administering this to chameleons? I have a female panther that I am worried is overdue. She has dug a few holes but laid nothing yet. I'm wondering how long I should wait, I bred her 40 days ago.

It would be fine, but your chameleons will enjoy catching the flies more. I would let them pupate and toss some of the pupae (sp?) in the bottom of re cage or a plant and let them hatch in your chameleons' enclosure.

The question is, how do you "accidentally" rip the head off a cricket? ...

Both of those are alien, introduced species. Thats not even close to being factual evidence.

Quadricornis Grac-zilla? :)

He looks good. Did you have another quad named quadzilla? Or is that a different member?

I went through a nasty divorce last year. I'm having a lot of fun doing whatever I want now! :)

Grow pot next to the cage not in it... Gotcha. :) lol

I hear the mr148 sold by lll is decent. And it's not too much money, but it's capacity looks small. Other people swear by hovabators which are like $50. And a lot of people just use a closet.
