My female Panther always shows her bright colors, ever since I got her (at about 3 months of age). She is now about 8 months old now.

There are tons of timers available on the market. I would recommend the Mist King timer, it works great and has a battery back-up so if the power goes out you don't have to worry about reprogramming it. On top of that Marty (The Mist King) is a forum member and provides tons of help. Mist...

I have a sorting tub with bunches of 1/4" holes leading into another tub. It works really good I just built it this past week as a test for my new colony design. I'll be posting it when I build the final version.

About 1 adult Dubia for every 1 to 2 square inchs of crawling surface area. A 2ft x 1ft tub with no egg crates would be about 200ish roaches. Every 12" x 12" egg carton adds like 3 to 4 square ft of crawling space (200ish to 400ish more adult Dubias). This colony supports an estimated 2000 to...

Gratz, on his safe return.

Depends on how big they are (babies can shed 1 or 2 times month if in their growth spurt, adults maybe only every couple months).

There is really no way to know how old he/she is. Jackson's don't get very big (most less than 12"). But, there is a local that stays smaller and a local that gets bigger ( Heres a link to FLChams Jackson page it might help a bit )

Doesn't make much sense to do it to me. Jello has next to no nutritional value for the crickets and the water crystals already do the job.

Nope, as long as it is labeled "Live Animal(s)", and aren't a dog, cat, gerbil, hamster, or mouse, it really doesn't matter. As long as you aren't shipping them to Florida (They are illegal in Florida without a permit). USPS Animal shipping Statement The packaging requirements basically just...

Nice, that reminds me of the 3D Chameleon I made in college. I wish I could find it (50 hours of polygon by polygon construction + about 10 hours for the animation).

They are not listed on CITES or any USDA list I can find. If you know of one please post it. If they are coming into the US from another country the shipper would need a license to ship animals into the US. [Edit] They are listed as just Phasmids on the USDA list (how evil), basically you...

LOL, I was lucky when I was young my mom didn't touch my room much. You my want to try getting a big Rubbermaid tub and labeling it "Not Trash" then keep things in there that you are trying to raise. I keep all my Fruit Fly Colonies in a big tub like that to make things easier.

Can Springtails climb the sides of a Rubbermaid Storage Bin?

No, you just label the box Fragile Live Animals (which is what you do no matter what kind of animal you are shipping). Counting is easy, you don't. Most people use a weight formula, basically say you are selling baby Dubias. Well they have a weight of 1/30th to 1/40th a gram, which means if...

I only offer these as a treat, since they have a pretty high fat content. When I have them its usually 1 on Monday and 1 on Friday.

I recommended Great Lakes Hornorms. I always get mine from them. When they arrive they are usually around 1 inch long. It only takes a few days to grow to the 2-3 inch range.

Its hard to tell for sure but it looks to me like all if not most of the females are Dubia. I came across this too, Bought 1000 babies and when they grew up I had like 100 Deathheads.

Yes, but its much harder to find them in the larger cages:).

This might seem like a very weird question but I need to ask. Is it to freeze Hornedworms and thaw them out to feed to your chameleon as needed? The reason I ask is that my chameleon will eat them even if they don't move.
