shipping Yeah, I was just reading about shipping on a reptile board and hearing some HORROR stories.

shipping hissers Thanks, they are mostly little still. What shipping service do you recommend?

Okay, this might seem dumb to seasoned bug people. But I've never shipped anything living and don't know how to start. I started with 2 supposedly juvenile male hissing cockroaches and when they grew up one was female. Now I have surplus that I would like to sell or trade, but no idea how to...

Thanks so much! That was easy as pie. I already placed my order and paid with paypal. I did tell him you sent me. Now I just have to explain to my husband why I paid $25 for a box of rotten wood . . . Non-bug people just can't understand!:p

I need rotten wood. I could've sworn I saw a site that was selling it, but can't remember which one. This is for eastern hercules beetles. I'm hoping to breed them, but I live in the desert and we don't have rotten logs laying around. Any ideas?

Yay! Cheap set-up! That will make it go over better with my husband too. I can't wait. They are such amazing creatures.

millipede I've had my GBA millipede for 3 years. The stuff they secrete won't hurt you unless you eat it or rub it in your eyes. In all the time "Malcolm" has been with us, he's never "oozed" anybody. Just handle gently and wash your hands afterwards. I feed him a variety of organic fruits...

vinegaroon Sounds easy enough. How much space would you give em?

I am thinking of getting a vinegaroon next weekend at the Natural History Museum Bug Fair. I think the proper name is Mastigoproctus giganteus? I saw and held one there last year and haven't stopped thinking about it since. How difficult are these to keep? And are there any special secrets I...

Your mother wants a tarantula? That's awesome. My mom won't even come to my house anymore. Something against snakes, and rats, and bugs, and . . . you get the idea!:p

I'm going! My family has promised to buy me the "bug of my choice" for mother's day! :clap:

LadyNai, I feel your pain. I purchased two hissers for my son's first pets. They were supposedly both male and suddenly one of them gave birth to over 25 babies. It was actually pretty awesome. My son and I actually watched them being born, all these little tiny white roaches. I keep them...

Wow, you learn something every day. I never knew sites like that exsisted. I guess that's the benefit of a forum, right? Thanks for all the help guys. These gnats days are numbered.

Thank you for all the ideas, but where do I obtain these carnivorous plants? I have somewhat of a black thumb, but I will try anything. I had a drowned gnat in my cereal this morning. That's just wrong! Is there a website where I can get these plants? I live in so.california. Thanks!

Hello everyone, Does anyone have these annoying little gnats in their invert's cages? Does anyone have suggestions on how to get rid of or prevent them? They seem to like the fruit in my hissers' cages and also my millipedes to a lesser degree. Sometimes I find them in my kitchen and...
