She prefers around 5/8", but will take up to 1" (dubias)

Her favorite food is crickets but I despise everything about crickets so I only get them as treats

I much prefer locusts. They are nicer to have around.

I have:
-Mealworms
-Dubias
-Sometimes various live foods for fish
-Locusts
-Crickets
-Wax worms
-Calciworms
-Pinkie mice
-Flighless fruit flies
-Micro crickets

I have at least 8 of these at any one time, but can have all at once!

So I basically have at least 1000 pets...

You...... despise crickets more than cockroaches?

110%.

Crickets live a few weeks is all, so you have to keep buying them. They Chirp. They stink to high heaven. And it doesn't matter how good you or your system is, one will always escape and drive you crazy until the day it dies.

Dubia Roaches rarely escape, they are kind of adorably dumb, they live a lot longer, and have next to no smell. They are also more nutritional. Oh, and they can't breed unless they have temps of about 90 degrees, but they are easy to breed if you so desire. They are also silent lol.

Well, when you put it like that...... I'M CONVINCED.

They are quick to catch though!

That's annoying! I find them the best. Those, with the mealworms, make up my skinks' main diet

I'm sorry, but I just realized that to someone who is not a reptile person, being SAD that you can't have locusts in the US would look so weird. (Not to me though, I'm definitely a reptile person....... albeit without reptiles.)

 

[Just-passn-thru]

Are there any reptiles(or amphibians, I guess, but reptiles are preferred) that live around 5 years? Is that wishful thinking?

I hope I'm not being too nosey asking why .
If you don't feel like answering , I understand.

I know. It's one of those things you don't realize is a thing until you're in it

I don't mind at all! It's just that I'm under aged, and I don't think my parents would be super pleased having to look after my pets.
