    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....

Roaches we need no stinking Roaches!

Just to show there difference between them and crickets. I also mix it up and have a colony of dubia roaches for my beardies ,
Silkworms Crickets
Protein 63.8% 11.4%
Calcium .34% .08%
Fat 10.6% 22.7%
Carbohydrate 18.2% 56.0%
Ash 7.4% 9.9%
 
I'd agree with Craig on the Silkworms. I had a baby about that age before who I fed silks all the time, and she loooved them. :thumbsup:
I have another batch going right now for my kidz :D They All love them...and hornworms, but hornworms grow quickly, and get big, so they aren't the best for younger dragons..

To me they were the only roaches that didn't look as roachy. I would've gotten dubia but quite frankly they scare the crap outta me and look more like your common house roach than the others did. I will say however, I will NEVER get lobster roaches! Those friggin things give me nightmares.

Interesting, to me its just the opposite. I think the Lateralis look much more like the common roach.

A little anecdote about hissers. When I was in college we had to do an insect collection for biology 101. I had a pretty nice (for an amateur) 200 bug collection and after college I stuck it in a bottom drawer in my computer desk. After several years went by I had mostly forgotten about it and in the mean time I had gotten a group of male hissers for pets. One morning at about 3 AM I was sitting at my computer and for some reason the house was unusually quiet and I heard this quiet crunching sound coming from under the desk. I got down on my hands and knees and as I moved my head toward the bottom drawer the noise got louder so I pulled the drawer open. What I found was a huge male hisser contentedly munching away at one of the insects in my collection. From the looks of the rest of the pinned bugs he had been at it for a while. I don't think there was a complete bug left in that box. A quick count of the rest of the colony confirmed that he was the only escapee but after that I made sure that every time I put the lid back on everyone was accounted for.
