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.

How do we really know that they are better. Mealies and cricks have done just fine for all these years and Phoenix worms are a relatively new food item. I just can't find myself fixing something that isn't broken. Just my two cents.

I'm just saying that back in the day before i was around crix and mealies were fishing bait(i think i should leave this one to Dan the Fireman)and they were already being heavily produced. So they were the obvious answer.

Actually, they are the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly.

I think more variety the better. Not to anthropomorphise, but who wants to eat the same thing all the time. Most animals eat a variety of foods in the wild, so why not in captivity?

Shelley is right they are soldier fly larva. The guy who produces these is here in Georgia (and he was a Bulldog too!!!) anyway, they are produced in chicken houses and they breed and lay eggs in the chicken wastes. They are great at helping get rid of the poop. They are also not pests...no stinging, biting or anything like that.

I'm sorry your correct, their not wasps but flies. This is an excellent link for information/more links. http://www.dendroboard.com/phpBB2/vi...light=hermetia
Essentially the main point is they require a 2 x 2 x 4 (meter) enclosure. Or roughly 6' x 6' x 12'. If you have the space they are excellent decomposers and accumate lots of Ca. -Chris.

I feed them to my cresteds and Gargoyle, and they love them! I have definately noticed a growth spert since my cresteds have been eating them.
Not sure if I will start feeding them to the Leos or Fat Tails because they are quite expensive. $9.95 for 100-150

I tried them once but the price tag for how big they were was a bit much next time I'll be getting some silkworms and only about half of my leos liked them
