I'll be there on Friday as well... seems they've finally got a definitive

I picked up my African-American Dwarf Frogs today. I've decided to call
them Emanuelle and Gary.

Any idea how much they'll cost?

I'm figuring about $50 each.

If enough people are interested, tho, I may buy an egg case, and sell as
many as I can for $20 each.

The downside is that lifespan is only one year.

50$/bug from riverfront? That's pretty steep :/

Well, there's a few issues here. 1, don't feed any pet, especially
herps,
exclusively one thing. Make damn sure you have a variety. Also, if
you're
using crickets, be sure to look into "gut loading" and the little powder
stuff that you cover them in too.
As for keeping them in your house, -bad- idea. They -will- get out. No
matter what you do. Guarenteed. And they'll breed, in your house. And
then
you'll have chirping crickets forever. You can never get rid of them
all.
And no, the chirping is -not- pleasant. It's annoying as hell. And it's
pretty disgusting knowing that there's crickets infesting your house
too.

Aw **** man, now my GF's gonna read this and ride my ass about it. LOOK
WHAT YOU ****IN GONE DONE DID!

I don't have much choice but to keep the crickets in my apt. If they get
out, I'll just breed 200 mantids and let them loose. If that becomes a
problem, I'll borrow a cat from one of the many spinsters in the building.


Don't worry, the only time I lost crickets was the first time I bought a
1000. Was inexperienced, but that didn't matter because my cat loves
crickets and has become an expert cricket hunter :-).

Now they package them in smaller boxes which you could fit into a small
aquarium, so I place the entire box, opened, into this aquarium, or shake
the entire contents into the aquarium (once I learnt how to handle the
suckers)....didn't loose one after that. Now I actually have to fish out a
couple to give my cat, for him it's like catnip.

Oh, the vitamin power is very good for the reptiles, but the same could be
achived with what you feed the crickets themselves, plenty of good sites out
there explaining a good cricket diet. Stay away from the water gel, it'll
save a few crickets, but not enough to justify the cost.

I love the sounds of crickets churping. Although not in the bedroom but I
could still faintly hear them, which is soothing especially in the winter. I
could close my eyes and pretend its summer with the windows open listening
to the suckers.

I already bought a jar of "Orange Cube" by Flukers - Vitamin and water
fortified cubes of food for crickets... Supposed to be a replacement for
both the powder and the gel.

Thoughts on it?

So let me get this straight.

You buy expensive packaged foods to feed the critters that you feed to the
critters that you are keeping for no other purpose than to have others gawk
at? I mean what would you do if that tarantula got out and you couldn't find
it? Remember "Goldfinger"? Hee-hee!

Man! And people tell me I'm weird for feeding a little flake food to the
goldfish for my Lionfish...

More or less right - Although the Orange Cube isn't very epensive... It's
cheaper that the other standard ways to fortify your crickets before feeding
them to your Lizard/Mantis/Children.

But yes, fundementally, you do have is straight.

(We won't mention the little fellah cost me $50).
