    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Feeder termites. No, i'm not crazy

Why would you willingly bring termites into your home? Because first, they only eat rotting wood not dry wood; and they are the perfect thing to perk-up your bored herp. Termites are perfect for dart frogs, baby chameleons, baby bearded dragons, and any other insect eating reptile. But, they are not just for babies. I have seen full grown Parson's chameleons go nuts for them, and i have a juvie frilled dragon that loves them.

Prices are by weight since it is a pain to count the little buggers:
1/2 oz. (roughly 1000) = $10.00

shipping is $3.00

Please let me know if you are interested. i have farms full of the little guys. Thanks for looking.
 
containing termites

it's not very hard to contain them. you can keep them in an old screw top peanut butter jar. they can't climb glass or plastic. they only eat rotting wood not dry wood. and they will dehydrate after about 15 minutes out in the open.
 
How do you handle them to feed them without squishing them?

Have you had any success (or know anyone who has had any success) in getting leopard geckos to eat them?
 
i just shake them out into a plastic bag and then dust them with calcium powder just like i would crickets. i have gotten geckos to eat them before, but they must be in a feeding bowl. i find that some creatures have a hard time finding them, especially if u have a naturally planted cage.
