ChameleonWulf Aug 31, 2004 06:50 AM

Ok so I went to go finally clean up my chams reptarium so i can set it up for outside, lo and behold found baby crickets in it... no suprise there lol . The suprise was finding these grubs/worms/maggots . So i go look them up and found out they were crane fly larva. So one of the crane flies laid eggs before cham ate it lol. Also found baby lacewings! Collected the baby crickets etc. But the crane fly larca disappeared on me . hmmm unless they pupated lol but doubtfull within a few hours time ...

Cranefly larvae are aquatic. I'm really surprised they survived in your reptarium.
