Carolina Locusts

[ColorCham427]

Are these toxic or OK for chameleons? Anyone have experience using these?

These generally eat grass. I will test out and see if they readily accept dandelion, hopefully they do well on dandelion as a staple diet so I can begin a breeding project.

Are you talking about Dissosteira carolina?
if so they are safe.

 

[ColorCham427]

Yes. Thanks, I have the space required for the males so let's hope I find some egg pods! These guys like it HOT!!!

I have bred those before, but the eggs take several months to hatch.

I wouldn't feed any you caught from outside. Parasites/pestacides are a risk with outdoor bugs, especially something thats going to bother a farm crop like locusts.

I'd breed them and feed off the babies.

Easier said than done.
