Hey everyone check out our new feeder Katydid we are working with

[Texas Ranger]

He was an adult wild caught and ate lizards regularly. He saw one Jerusalem cricket and seemed to say I think 'm going to pass.

Lee how does the juveniles katydids look? You may want to feed them out instead of the adults.

They are a lot less spikey they get there spikes on there last molt. That was what I was thinking to just to be safe.

 

[ataraxia]

haha man you aint kiddin! i hope they do well for you.

Lol because I dont want to loose it they are fast real fast I need to post a pic of my giant wide horn hisser in my hands that thing kind of freaks me out its even bigger. And yeah man they are all around and that isn't nothing we got stick bugs that are about 8in. Long and as thick as my ring finger. I am going to collect some of those this weekend and start a colony with them too .... Also we have a grass hopper here that I haven't caught yet because they fly really well that is bigger then this katydid everthing is bigger in TEXAS lol.

Where? Back in San Antone?

 

[Texas Ranger]

Good luck, they're almost impossible to breed and vicious. They'll attack anything that even looks edible. Mine would tackle prey 2 and 3 times their size.

Humm maybe the people you know don't know how to do it my buddy here has been breeding raising and feeding them for years to all his reptiles. And they lay like a 1000 + eggs ....

 

[Texas Ranger]

Where? Back in San Antone?
