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.

I seriously doubt that them being aboreal has anything to do with their "taste" or your leos not eating them.... It is most likely that your leos are not used to them....
Anyway, this place has great prices.... Much better than Mulberry Farms....

Yeah, I agree, most of my Leos and Fat Tails LOVE them, but I can't get me Cresteds to eat them

MUCH better considering you can get up to 500 large ones for the same price . I would rather do that than get the 1/2"-1" , i could probably go through 1000 of those in a day or two , not much to the little cream puffs .LOL

Most of my leos love them too! Which is a good thing, because I really want to decrease the number of crickets in my house. Now, I alternate their food between silkworm and other things (crickets, mealworms and occasionally a super). |
Wow, that is cool to kow, I may just have to try breeding them myself  (Maybe...LOL)

Bonnie, I like that set up for the coccoons! Neater than my method! Mine usually just spin the coccoon on the paper towel that covers the top and then I move it to another container. I make a single layer of coccoons, and I don't bother to cover it since the moths can't fly. When the moths hatch out they need to be moved to an empty container or they will start laying eggs on the coccoons. I put them into a cool whip container with a petri dish on the bottom. When there are lots of eggs in the petri, I can transfer it to the fridge or incubator (hatchling drawer).
Ro, I'm assuming since you buy the eggs in bulk that you are refrigerating them.... have you had any problems with refrigerating the eggs? Do you do anything special to them? I've refrigerated some, but haven't tried hatching them yet.

I have the refrigerated and pull out about 2000 - 3000 eggs a week to hatch. I don't have any problems with the eggs hatching.

Do you hand feed them or leave them in the cage for the cresteds to feed at their leisure?
