I got house flies from Tiki Tiki. They come in a small cup. Here is what I do I put the pupae that I want to hatch in a plastic cup with a piece of fruit for them to eat when they hatch. I put a piece of wax paper over the top with holes poked in it with a rubber band around it and put it on top...
Yes they will lay eggs in the "gunk" and also eat it you don't add anything. Heres what I do I set my fly cultures on top of my UVB light fixture and the heat that gives off really gets the flies movin and layin eggs. After like a week you will see the pupae crawling up the side then they will...
The D. Hydei's get up to 1/8th an inch. The Melongasters are smaller. I would get the Hydeis for sure. Just shake them onto the plant your chameleon hangs out on. They can climb almost any surface so a feeding cup is useless with them.
I would look on ebay for the seller Junart the flies he sells are in a huge container and last forever. The shipping is really great too. Just search on ebay for fruit flies and you will find his auctions. How do you feed them? you smack the top of the container to knock them down open the lid...
Thanks for the intel. Yah I thought it was the weather for a while but it had to be sickness. I do 2 day shipping with heat packs and out of 3 orders of 500 maybe 50 would make it. I was getting reships of deads and it real frustrating. I just got a good reship though like I said so I hope...
Turns out me and Texas Panther Man were getting our crickets from the same place and having problems. I think mine were infected about 90% would half wake up twitch and die when they were shipped in. The crickets I got as a reship two weeks ago are just fine so I hope the virus is out of the...
I agree with this both of my babies were 1 monthish when I got them and I have had great success with them starting in 16 x 16 x 20" cages. I have had to help my little man find the basking spot twice so far. I couldn't imagine he'd make it very well in anything bigger.
I'm using a tub exactly like Summoner's minus the badass venilation. I don't use any lid and I use egg crates a couple tubes. I feed them cricket crack and veggies and water with water pillows. I use no lid and this works really well for me I had crickets from Petsmart last me 4 weeks. I usually...
