Sorry, I tend to use acronyms because I'm lazy haha, and forget that not everyone knows what that mean.
But no worries you will be speaking in tongues too in no time

No need to dust these with supplements either. They don't need it!
Phoenix worms, bsfl (black soldier fly larvae) all the same beast. The flies are easier to feedfeed, and chams love them.Black Soldier Flies... Calci worms/Reptiworms turn into these. My panther goes nuts for them!
T hey are excellent...however they apparently can constipate a cham if fed exclusively after about 5 days. Its best to always mix up your feeders. Either a variety each day or a few days of one then something new.
I use a $60 wine fridge at 56 degrees and i have kept them alive for almost 6 months and counting will be 6 months October 1st). I paid like $16 for 1000. Cheaper if you buy more. I dont think you can get crickets that cheap once you pay shipping and there are few deaths and way easier. I do nothing but take some out every week or so to let them pupate. I dont feed them, i dont spray them, nothing until i take them out. Then i give them a carrot or something as gutload. They are dumb so i open the cage, open the cup, tap the cup a few times until they fly into the cage. Had maybe 2 escape and they are easily caught.
In other words, I recommend them.

I just use a small calciworm cup with lid to take out 50 or so worms at a time. They pupate in there over tye course of a week or so.

Just looking at this thread - how do you go about letting them pupate?

I wish mine would eat from my hand. She just moves away and gives me stank eye.
When she sees you bringing the flies, she might start liking you better. Let try so.e then try hand feeding them to her. They cant bite.I wish mine would eat from my hand. She just moves away and gives me stank eye.
