"1) Can they be raised just on baby food and fruit? Has anyone done this with good results? I'd be

willing to give crickets, but I dislike them and I feed my leo superworms/mealworms, dont like to

deal with them. Are mealworms ok to feed or are their shells too hard for cresteds? Maybe the

newly molted ones instead of crickets or no? "



Yes they can be raised on a supplemented mixed babyfood diet. If you want more info scroll down and read my post about the 11 month old female I raised on this kind of diet. If you want more info about my methods and mix,email me.



"2) Are screen type vivariums good? Reptariums are pretty cheap, and I think they look nice, and

have good ventilation. Would it be harder to keep good humidity in there?



I prefer to use sterilite 66 quart plastic "boxes". They are easy to clean and cheap...lol.



"3) How are they with handling? My leo is super tame, how are they compared to leos? Do they

become "tame" or do they just tolerate it?"



They a fine with handling. they can just be a little jumpy at times.



" 4) Is room temp good? The room I'd be keeping them in is around 75 degrees most of the time, so

would this be ok?"



That's perfect.



good luck
