alright alright,

people are SOOOOO touchy. that post from ssnakess.com was a simple response to someones question; Can I gutload crickets, freeze them and feed them to cresties (as he said he does with his leopards). The simple answer is yes, there is nothing 'technically' wrong, and if it what works go with it. Some may say putting crix in a bowl doesn;t give the cresties exercise but if that's what works best for you use it!

Bottom line is there is no reason why he should feed frozen crickets. A crested in a 20 gallon tank is NOT having the same life as in a huge forest AND they are getting as much exercise as you would living in a bedroom.

The catch 22 of geckos is as follows:

1. geckos are the coolest animals ever

2. crickets are the spawn of hell



other people on the ssnakess forum really made some insulting replys and made rich_19 feel like a stupid irresponsible owner which he clearly is not. A burmese python eating frozen rats in a rubbermaid is NOT natural, neither is frozen insects to a gecko

but remember folks NOTHING about their lives is natural, if you think a live cricket makes their rubbermaid seem like a rainforest think again.



sorry this post is so long,but I rarely post. I tried to defend rich and got totally blasted which is why I don;t post.

you;d think if we all keep the same genus we'd be more inclined to be friends and colleagues, but I guess everyone want to be the expert.

ps ask allen repashy if crickets should be elinated from the diet, i thought he was an expert hahaha
