Brad,

It has been a really long time since I have seen it, but you should watch the Japanese animated film titled Twilight of the Cockroaches. I think you would appreciate it.

 

[Brad Ramsey]

I appreciate ANYTHING about cockroaches...I have become their advocate!
I still feed them off though.
I didn't find it, someone on arachnoboards posted it.
Apparently they found it when doing a search for info on Hissers.
I hope you all enjoyed the film...I found it quite funny.

Very nice composition. Very highly reminded me of The Metamorphosis by Kafka.

The melancholy cockroach met a hungry panther chameleon.

They became instant friends and had a meal together. The melancholy cockroach is no longer melancholy.. he finally found someone who judged him by the contents of his heart.

Heika - that's hilarious.

Well put! Funny how attached we can get to our little buggies, but still feed them to our big buddies.

Now I just need to get Cyrus to eat them. I have hundreds of cockroaches right now and he will not eat a single species (i don;t have hissers b/c they, like my Giant Cave roaches truly are pets, OK, I have offered the prehistoric looking cave nymph to both Darwin and Cyrus and they look at it, then me - like I'm crazy

I have been feeding off adult male dubias for the last couple weeks, and the only chameleon that is refusing them is Spencer. Spencer is a fussy, spoiled chameleon though.. everyone else is having a great time munching on the excess males. Not sure how you get a chameleon to start eating them.. mine have all been raised on them at this point. I start them as neonates eating nymphs and then work up in size as they grow. They are as much of a staple here as crickets. If the chameleons didn't eat them, they would go hungry though.
