We have exotic anoles and few exotic geckos as I am in Keys and I have so so many extra crickets that I feed the yard bunch every few days.



It seems to take 8 weeks for crickets to breed but once you get the cycle going a few adults put out so many babies.



I have also just left the egg laying cups in the bin with the adult crickets and let them hatched there and grow out there and all did fine.

Maybe some eggs get eaten but no big deal, The problem with that is only when you clean the bin because you will kill baby crickets.



I wipe the semi adult, adult bin with bottom with wet paper towels but the little bin with pinheads I do not touch and when they are 1/4 inch I put them with the adults
