I really like the tongs I use and never had any tongue problems. I hold the insects very lightly.

A dark plastic 14 - 16 gallon tub from HD is your best bet with a large rectangle cut out of the lid and dark screen hot glued on to it. 10 gallon glass aquariums are so heavy and hard to move around and clean. I would buy an extra bin just in case your colony gets to big :)
I would like to thank you as well! You have inspired me to start this fun project and not only is it great food for my chams it's very educational and my daughter really enjoys it. Two of my worms pupated today ;0)
After you collect the eggs should I put them in a petri dish? And can you store them until ready for use or do I need to get them in containers right away? Loved your blog and I can't wait to start my hornworms!

I have done this test and have had better results just putting the eggs in the closet. I've come th the conclusion that the slight temp change from morning to night helps the eggs hatch faster. My eggs always hatch between 6-8 months and I use vermiculite.
