moths? spiders? grasshoppers?

chewieu Apr 13, 2004 05:33 PM

I recently was given a Rough Green Snake. These are typically hard to keep in captivity because they need a varried diet. I can get them crickets, mealworms, and waxworms, but that's about it. They usually need things like spiders, grasshoppers, and moths too. How can I get these things on a regular basis when no online supplier carries them? I could turn waxworms into moths, but that still doesn't help me with the spiders and grasshoppers. What does everyone else do? I really don't want to have to catch them, that relies too much on chance.

I have kept them on a diet of nothing but gut loaded crickets and had them do very well.
