My Bug factory

[Action Jackson]

I swear I spend more time taking care of bugs than, than, than......watching TV!

Here's my bug factory.

I have been having a really hard time getting any Praying Mantis ooths to hatch so I made a little incubator to help keep the tempretures up. It's working!

I had 4-5 ooths hatch in the last couple days.

Sticks.

Roaches

There used to be two Mantis in this cage.

Awesome looks like my chams room

 

[PantherEnvy]

Wow! It looks like you decided to breed bugs and on the side just have some chameleons, eh? Awesome setups.

Im jealous of your factory...

 

[Canny Chams]

lol, your space for bugs is the size of my apartment

 

[JoeG]

Thats great! You could open a restaurant for chameleons.

Not bad. Your place looks a little like mine, just take that shelving unit and multiply it by 3 + 2 12' long shelves and you're close lol Gotta love bug farming man, it's very rewarding. Keep up the good work, and let me know if you want to get rid of some of those extras

Ha ha. I can't imagine. I suck at some of it. I struggle with my mantis. I just don't have enough time to keep their moisture up. Good thing my Chameleons will eat dead ones too.

Gotta love roaches so easy and my lizards love'em

I had a male and female in together. She was done with him.

[Jbujarski]

I wish I had something like that! My crickets never seem to breed and same with my roaches :/

 

[Hoj]

Thats alot of bugs, i dont feel so bad now.

 

[chameleoman]

i didnt know i died? i must be in heaven

 

[PappaRONzi]

Where did you get your walking sticks? I can't find them anywhere in the US. Do they breed for you? Do you ever sell any of them?

 

[lumbasammler]

Wow, that´s impressing! I just got a few sphodromantis lineola that i´ll try to breed.
Do you have this species, too? If yes, could you give me some advice on how to incubate the eggs best? Would be great

Any tips on catching katydids or moths ?
