That is interesting about the hamburger and vitamin mix. And your horse situation was right on my point. I myself have never had a horse but I am friends with alot of people that do own them. I have had alot of animals over the years. Mostly reptiles and some of the biggest. Burmese...

Fast forward 30 years later. I have owned just about all of it at one point or another. And I feel I am probably safe in saying most people like us have had or have a small zoo. The point is even if they say no. And you sould respect that. It is just a matter of time before you get it...

I remember when I was young I had a fascination for all reptiles but my parents where scared of them. I tried and tried to present logical cases as to what I would do to care for them but it did not matter. I took things into my own hands and started catching them and hiding them around the...

Darn spell check Tersa

It is definitely a sphinx moth of some kind but I am leaning more towards Teresa now.

I think your right

I would like to recant a statement. I looked up night shade and realize it is a flowering plant so they very well could be feeding on it. And since I really am not familiar with it or the catipiller. I should not have made that statement.

Ok I was able to create an account and get the images uploaded. I will let yall know what the verdict actually is. This has been really fun and I am enjoying this.

I am just going to watch the process and release. But I have been doing research. I believe this pic is the one. It is a white lined sphinx moth Caterpillar. I believe it is indeed safe to feed. It does not feed on night shade but on nector flowering plants. At least that is the info I...

I think in my area they are referred to as lunar moths. I could be wrong on that. But they are big. The more think of it. I am really looking forward to the cocoon and release. I am no expert on any of this. I am just a dumb guy who has a passion for all of it. The reptiles, insects, and...

I think that is more what I am learning too. I am not always good on pics but if I remember I will send

I have two vields male (Yoshi)and female(Princess). That have produced almost 100 eggs of which I have between 30-40 babies currently. And a male panther(Polick).

I agree I would never feed something I cought to my little ones. And like I said I am not sure if I am really doing something right or wrong. I do think for feeding I should use what's at the shops that we know are safe. I am hopeful there is more info out there on them. I do find the moths...

I might be just trying to make fetch work when it should not but I would always prefer native over non native and I could be wrong on that too. I know horn worms are not exspencive but a free trial and error run I can not see hurting anything. I dont know I just found them while mowing the...

I could probably find more, I would not feed these to my babies since I do not know what infections or worse they could transmit, but I could start a breeding colony with them if they are safe to feed to my little ones. What are your thoughts?

New update, So the chameleons are getting bigger and I am burning through the fruit flies. I started staggering feedings between crickets as well to offset and keep my cultures going. I did have to buy two more cultures 32oz since they are going through them now faster than I can produce new...

Ok, so according to your figures I am at the equivalent of sixteen 16oz cultures. to which your saying is still not enough for once they get growing. I know from my figures I can double or triple that in two weeks time, maybe more. My roaches are just starting, I have about 50, but my...

Well if multiple people are saying 50 cultures is the number than maybe it is. I personally do not have the space for 50 but I also breed crickets and now roaches so I think I will be fine. being I am new I do not want to discredit anyone. I just see what I see and I could be wrong!

I agree they need to start now. Get them going and perfecting any errors. but for me, I have a container full of frozen ones I am using for fish food. Just because I have so many. I even tried selling cultures but no one in my area actually wants them. So at this point I have a surplus of...

How big of cultures are you referring too. I ask because I did 32 oz cups and after two weeks of growth I would say I am producing a couple hundred a day per culture. multiply that by 8 cultures and you see the numbers I am talking about. I just do not see the need for 50 cultures based on...
