Does anyone know how big B. giganteous nymphs are? I have a 12x12x12 exoterra I'd like to keep a colony in but I've had crickets escape in the past (may have fixed that problem but there's still a crack between the doors) and don't want that to happen to an animal I care about. Better yet does anyone have some pictures of the nymphs? Anyone know a good place to get these?

how big is the crack? what is the measurement? is the crack at the base or is it on top. the nymphs and the adults can't climb smooth surfaces.
so if the crack is on top where the nymphs can climb up to, then i wouldn't worry about it.
with that tank, i think that you can probably hold about 9 adults (one male and 8 females) along with a bunch of nymphs.

I'd say less than 1/8". Wow that's more than I'd hoped to be able to fit. It's not a crack really, just the space between the doors. Would they chew through the foam background?

Yeah, that's a 12x12x18. Mine is 12x12x12. Basically a glass cube with the doors and a screen lid.

contact Orin, to see if he have some for sale (i think that he should) and let me know how much he is selling them for. i might have some for sale, but go ahead and contact him first, because i only have about 95 nymphs right now.
his username is "Elytra and Antenna"
