[jcal]

then they shouldnt be a problem..had them before...they start popping out like crazy...my cham went crazy over them

if you bought from someone that makes cultures of them , then you should be good

i have heard the culture is pretty smelly. can you confirm or deny this at all please? thanks.

 

[jcal]

the culture is very smelly but the only stay in the culture when they are maggots. when they start hatching out they dont smell at all.

If you order the bb spikes they have very little smell. They still have some smell but not as bad as a cricks smell. Ive never purchased the cultures though. I dont wanna mess with that stuff.
