They grow really fast, so I usually feed them a couple a day. I don't get them often, so I use them to boost their diet, give them some variety, and try pump them with the vitamins. If you wait too long, they might get too big for her.

I saw this post now I am wondering: what do you use them to clean? I bought some beetles from the same I ordered my GBR to clean them. Do I need them for my dubia colony? I always walk by the pet bugs at reptile shows and stare. They are so fascinating.

Home Depot, Lowe's, maybe Ace. That's where I priced mine. In our area, Sherwin Williams runs lower priced seals and coating than the hardware stores, but I don't know if it's that way everywhere.

I was thinking about building my own, but for the money, I could just buy a Zoomed Reptibreeze XL. I think a lot of people either wind up doing that, or modifying one. I don't know that for sure, it is just my guess. If you're doing it for fun, or to have custom dimensions, you should coat it...

Thanks! Yeah, I gave up on the Bananas. I fed off the ones I could find. They ate them quick. I just chunked the big dubias in their bin.

Howdy! My wife and I are tired of crickets. The smell and the gnats are too much for us. She, and most of her family, have a roach phobia, whatever it's name is. She was okay with GBR's (which we lovingly call Green Banana Bugs) because they are colorful, but the whole breeding process didn't...

I have had supers forever, and I have never seen them morph. Are you sure you are using superworms and not mealworms? Or am I just lucky? They can eat moths, mine has eaten black soldier flies and been fine. I think it is a rare thing for it to be edible in 1 phase and not in another. The only...

I used to use substrate because my guy looked miserable whenever I had to use a paper towel. I bought some green waterproof sheets for the bottom and he can't tell the difference. It is MUCH easir to clean. As far as handling: each cham is different. Gary, my veiled gets real jealous and always...

Check out the caresheet in the resources section and look at the sponsors. You'll save a ton of money on feeders. Also: nothing against the workers at Petco and Petsmart, but youll find much better info in the forums' caresheets. They're working with way too many animals to be experts on 1...

I've bought packets of them before just to freak people out. One piece of advice: don't eat a bacon-cheeseburger within 24 hours: all you will taste is cricket.

We had gnats near our cricket enclosure. We used clear flypaper near it, and we put a couple pieces around the room to catch the smarter ones.It actually convinced my roach-a-phobic wife to turn to GBR for a feeder (we lovingly refer to them as green banana "bugs"). You may not see them near the...

We'll be praying for him.

Sorry about the duplicates, I don't know why it did that. And thank you!

This is Solomon (we call it Sully, or maybe we should start calling it Sally). I picked up this beauty at Repticon last April. I think Sully is almost a year old, now. I was told it was a he, and he was quite stoney colored. It was almost my finger-lenght. The older Sully gets, the more I'm...

My male did that for a little while. I'd thought about it a bit, and usually a superworm will run to my fingers to try to dig through. If I held a wax or something else to him, and it didn't immediately move, he would flick his tongue to my fingers, which I figured was a Pavlov's kind of deal. I...

Oh Yeah, and don't be afraid to handle often. I handle my 2 about every other day. They love getting out and free ranging, too. Just use a fake tree or the blinds or something where they can't get lost. Free ranging and handling make them more sociable. She won't like the handling at first, but...

Tip from a friendly veiled owner: Keep her where y'all are the most. She will get used to seeing you and enjoy watching you. They're creeps, they love watching your every move. Just when you think you're alone, you see their eyes creeping on you. They're comical. I hand-mist, I enjoy it. I just...

I have had the same problem, lately with my year-old veiled. I thought he was eating them slowly, but then I found about 20 dead crickets in a back corner under some decorations. I ordered hornworms so he would eat. I read you don't want their appetite to totally disappear. I got the impressions...

It's still on his head, almost to the neck, and on his back, stomach, toes, and shoulders. . .everywhere. Thanks!

My wife's cresty, Stanley is about a year old. He lives in a Exo-Terra crested gecko terrarium. He eats gecko food and occasionally a cricket or 2 for a treat. We haven't seen him shed at all this entire time. He would get foggy, but then he's bright again before we know it. We were told by...
