Where to buy locusts??

[Ashleigh]

I live in California, I was wondering, does anyone know where to buy them, or who sells them online?

I don't think you can get them in America.. Just like us in the UK can't buy hornworms .. There seen as pests apparently!..

Here in the uk if a load of locusts escaped, they'd die pretty quickly due to our rubbish climate. So that maybe our reptile stores can breed them. Might be worth asking at your local reptile store if there is a reason it's so difficult to get them. Chams love them, they're a lot more expensive then crickets but they'll do anything to get to them.

Well crap! I was wanting to find something my panther would eat other than crickets since he basically won't touch them anymore and heard locusts are more attractive to them. My husband won't let me get roaches

But Dubia just look like wood bugs! Really big wood bugs.

Tell him that! lol I wish I could convince him...I showed him all the pros to crickets but he's convinced they're going to escape and breed with the roaches here and make some super species of roaches and we'll be over run! lol oh goodness...

 

[Kmw]

Well.. i can see his concern. I Certainly wouldn't want to be the one responsible for super-roaches.

What about Super worms, wax worms, Horn worms, silk worms ?

The three main staples are crickets, roaches, and silkworms. Is he terrified of worms?

So I can use silkworms as a staple?? He loves those!!! I just got some in the mail today and he gobbled them up, also got some butterworms

Instead of locusts, why don't you try grasshoppers? Chams go crazy for them too. And you can get them in the US! Just make sure you avoid lubbers.

Get hornworms or silkworms or something along them lines, my chams love silk worms
