or a good site would be fine too ? ...

thanks

Dont know of any sites but its not that hard. The question is, is it worth it?

Its time and space consumeing and pointless for a small collection "IMO". Here is a example of how easy it is. I had a 29 tall for my Tokays awhile back, in side it I had potting soil for substrate. A few supers and such got away and turned into beatles, then they had laid eggs ( or what have you) and they turned into worms. I had a terrarium that at one point I had to tear it down cause of infestation.

Take a big sterilite container a shoe box size is pointless, fill it with some dirt make a screen lid for it and either put a 500 count cup of mealies/supers in it (Keep them in good shape for you will need them to turn into beatles) or collect some beatles from out side. Keep them fed, after awhile check the dirt by digging around in it and pull out any worms and place them in a nother container and feed.

thanks , my new geckos only eat mealies.. the guy we called in new york said.. so i have to get some small mealworms today and get them gutloaded
of corse im trying to get them on crickets too but they dont seem to be interested

That could be a good thing,....if you ask me...
