Homegrown Crickets

[Reganold]

Hey you guys i know a lot of you out there breed their own feeders and have many chameleons to feed. how ever i currently only have one chameleon (currently. i slowly begin tempting my dad into a panther soon) so i want to know how to breed a small-ish amount of crickets. can someone give my like cage size, methods, humidity etc.? nothing to elaborate just something that would keep crickets healthy and breeding for Odysseus.

In all honesty, for one chameleon I wouldn't try to breed crickets. It's kind of a headache, not saying it can't be done but its a pain.

For breeding crickets, it's pretty simple.

Basically, its like setting up a tub.
On half of the tub, you'll need moist soil (don't over wet), and for it be 90degrees. When ready, the crickets will go there and lay the eggs which will hatch within a week (sometimes a bit longer). You'll then need to remove the baby crickets from the soil, if you don't they will die because it will become to toxic for them to stay on (cricket craps).
On the other half of the tub, just a normal setup; egg crates, food, hydration...

Hope this helps.
