    Jacksonii jacksonii alien invasion

    ok, so 13 so far. I gave up after I got a hiss out of O. She does not hiss. She was just tired of the invasions. I don't hold her so she lets me know when she is done. Took forever to get them to climb on a twig to get out. I have them in a large 66 gallon tub. I have started the housing...

    Suitable substrate for BSFL?

    Wood chips Short answer no. Long answer no-ish. Almost every type of wood will have natural chemicals that are harmful for insects. Cedar, cypress, pine, fir, and other strong smelling chips are a hard no. Rule of thumb if you can smell the chip, then it is bad. The rest of the wood you would...

    Dubia invaders

    Only if you allow them to get a large numbers and no other food. I would not have a colony with out them and I would never get rid of them. They eat the dead roaches which reduces moisture which causes colony collapse. If they get too hungry they will eat the same food as the roaches. They are...

    Anywhere other than petco?

    In my case, vermiculite cut down on the smell considerably. Not by a little, but a huge amount. You need to focus on the final cost per cricket and not cost of each part. Shipping to the store is part of the price you are paying. Banded crickets like at Ghann will last with proper feeding...
