gryllodes sigillatus perhaps? They breed really well in tight spaces.

you can deff use 1/8"...I would cut it so it fits inside the black plastic lip.

I heard good things from Rephasy...but have never used it. I have used dogfood, koi pellets, hog mash....it has not really made a difference for any of my insects. Now keeping clean fresh water in their cages available at all times I would pay good money for that.

I am curious.....how do they taste?? I have eaten common water snakes and Florida bark scorpions. The snakes were tasty southern style...The scorpions I did in a scampi with Garlic and olive oil...they tasted like dirt.

I really hope you do well with those. In South FL there are beautiful giant tree snails in pockets of hammocks....But iguanas make quick work of them.

It really helps.... If you go to the swamps and don't use a strong spray.....it helps to take a really hot shower.

I have got to wonder...how do they breed if they just eat each other? Are we missing something in captivity? And that pic is amazing!!

I think the product you are talking about is fluon.

Pet core... You wrote on your first post "any pointers/advice?" I am giving you my advice.. And it's not just large reptiles in cages "advice". My experience is coming from watching these lizards eat sleep and breed literally in my own yard. Impaction with substrates is common when...

Dtknow.. I fed them tiny little moths and soft bodied floating inverts.

Hi Please change the cage a little. I reccomend closing the top with wood or plexiglass and allow the humidity to build up. Don't worry about not having enough ventilation but worry more so about high humidity. This is important for all lizards not only tropicals but desert lizards aswell...

Not impossible at all...... Plants on the edge of the tank do the trick or a round enclosure... Even pelagic water striders live for a longtime but use seaweed...

Can you please elaborate the difference of good and bad soil?? How about soil that the animal would recognize?? Canthinkofone gave you his tip and its a good one....don't let it dry out LOL Pedes especially tropical sp need humid to wet soil...hell even desert sp go to "earth" to retain...

Well then saddle up and make a road trip out of it! Or just look in a open lot between houses and take a good butterfly net or along side a highway.

Hi there. Why don't you go out into the farm areas and catch a native of NY? that way you have a species you can keep outside during the spring and summer months and bring them inside during th cold months if you want them to continue breeding. Or you could build outdoor cages that can...

Nice article. But I would like to hear more about this large flying mole cricket??? is it a island endemic??

Good to hear they haven't killed each other. They and the mindango water monitor have such a poor tract record in captivity. Good luck with them. And pics are always encoraged.

I have never heard ofroaches producing toxic gases. And they should be very easy keepers and breeders. Keep them just like dubia except keep them in smooth walled container with vasaline on the edges.

Nice..The head shape looks male. But is that a possibly gravid female??

agreed! Calotes versicolor is my best guess after seeing only one wild adult here in FL.
