Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Crickets keep dying
I need some help. I have a large cricket tank, cricket food, and cardboard in it. I get 35 crickets to last 2 weeks, but most of them die. According to a clerk at the reptile store I get my crickets at, I'm doing everything right. How do I keep them from dying so quickly?

From what I've been told crickets have a 6 to 8 week life span I don't know if that is true or not, If you are getting large or adult crickets that could be your problem. Are you giving them a water source like carrots? Or it could be temperature, what's the average temps in the room there in?

Yes but a very expensive replacement unless you do a colony.

I don't do roaches.
The large crickets fill Kakarot up. I can try going down to mediums.

If your husbandry is on point it's most likely a virus that's killing your crickets. Despite what's commonly said about crickets, they're tough as nails when supported properly. I've seen crickets live over 13+ weeks with minimum loss..maybe one or two deaths a day out of thousands. Healthy crickets normally don't die in droves unless a disease or poisoning is involved. IMO Your best bet is to buy your crickets from somewhere else.

Are Dubia legal in FL? I thought they were not.

Picked up smaller crickets at a different store. Let's see how they do.
