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.

Silkworm colony kit
Anyone breed their own silkworm? How difficult is it to keep a colony going, and does it require a lot of space?

I breed 'em. Doesn't require much space. Temp. is an issue, they need warmth. Also make sure you never run short of food and keep handling to a minimum as they are somewhat dainty when it comes to bacterial problems (and fungal ones too). Always make sure you have plenty of food on hand, they are pretty much eating/pooping machines.

If you need eggs and chow in bulk, cheapest & best eggs... silkwormwholesale.com
They advertise on here, not sure if they can ship overseas though. If you need a "kit" silkworm farm is good.

I saw from the Mulberry Farm website that I need to go to www.canadianfeeders.com for shipment overseas, however their prices are a lot higher than most other places...1 pound of silkworm chow costs $24.00!
Oh well...I think I'll go for it anyway, if silkworm is going to be good for my leos...

wow, you can get 2 lbs for a couple dollars more on most sites. or 5 lbs for 55, shipping might be a little pricy with that amount of weight though.
