Yeah do you keep them at room temp??? Where do you keep yours in the house? They prefer light/dark??

i keep them on top of my viv stack just over the ceramic so they are warm, in not direct light but just enough to see them.
as for smell, they dont really make a smell apart from the weetabix and honey mix which smells like flapjack once it starts to warm up

like i said i have 2 running at the mo, aint gotta clue what to do with them like cos my bts wont eat them,(picky bugger)
so it looks like i may be selling them to the local petshop or at least swoping them for other food stuff's for my royals or skink.

Sounds good. I'd imagine lots of people would buy them, especially if you're selling them for a cheaper price.

for those with increasing lizard collections lobster roaches are a nice alternative and are very nitritious for your lizards too and with a good sized starter colony in a few months you will have a good supply for your lizards |

Lol Im not too keen on having roaches about the place. But thinking about it I think my beardies would be the only things to take them. Could do with a few "livefood caresheets" i suppose. explaining ways to breed them and such. if anyone is interested in writing any out feel free to do so |

i used to have waxworm cultures but found the newly hatched used to be small enough to escape via the thread of the jars and escape
crickets aren't worth bothering about unless you got a largish collection..just easier buying the tubs and sacs plus crickets reek
locusts would be good but youd need a heated cage and damp sand tub to lay eggs in and too much effort for me personally lol

as for the wax worms escaping i have not had that problem as i use fine mesh on the lids and also place the tubs i cat litter trays filled with water so if they ever did get out they would drowned.
