Man he is just so beautiful!

Hey Sandra Congrats on the 10,000 posts!

I've seen this also but they always remove the stinger first.

Most people use the 11" wide Flex Watt tape.

I'm curious too since those are what turn into June Bugs.

+1 and I also use Sandra Fruit and Veggies Gutload

Looks great what are you using as a heat source?

They are extremely easy to breed and very very cheap especially if you can find a mulberry tree.

Josh's frogs has multiple ones to choose from

They key at first is providing enough "smell" that makes the females want to come in a lay, they will only lay above an area that they know is a food source, how much "smell" is anyone's guess. I tried a screen enclosure at first and I just could not get it to go, but I probably gave up to soon...

lol, my wife gives me grief all the time. "Are you on another bug site, what possibly more could learn about bugs?" Just a warning it can get pretty nasty considering it is composting rotting fruits and vegetables. It is by far the main thing I try to keep hidden on the side of the house from...

Summer in Texas consists of trying not to melt!

Depending on how old the crickets are you can keep them alive for weeks, I think their life span is about 6-7 weeks. I typically buy 4 weeks old ones and keep and feed them off for a month with almost no deaths. Just always keep food and a water source like water crystals available all the time...

He may be so addicted to the meal worms that he does not want crickets now. Mealworms are really a treat and should only be about 10% off his diet. You will probably have to stop offering mealworms until he is forced to eat a cricket out of hunger.

Yes Flexx Watt is the way to go, just be sure and get the controller with it (they say it is safer). You just need to be sure you get a container with a smooth bottom so that the heat transfers smoothly, most of the bigger plastic containers have all sorts of ridges with high and low spots that...

The flys only live about 5 or so days so you will not have a problem very long. Mine go nuts for the flys, I mean crazy! They have no way to eat so they only survive on what they have stored up.

109 that's our average temp in Texas in the summer, you wimps, lol.

So cute! Never can get enough baby pics.
