Thought I'd post a pic of my guys today. We've named them Gollum and Smegal - since they seem to like their crickets "raw and wriggly".
The brighter one is 5 inches long and weighs in at 10 grams.
The duller one is 4 1/2 inches long and weighs in at 10 grams. So they are both gaining weight - obviously shedding (little bits have been found in the cage and their coloration is changing) and adding some fat to those tails.
I feed my crickets Fluker's Orange Cubes and T-Rex Calcium Plus Food for Crickets. I also put little cotton pads in the cricket cage soaked in water so they can drink. Is there anything else I should be doing to gut load the crickets? I'm not losing many before they become leo food, but was wondering if I could do anything different ... they're in a plastic cage with papertowels on the bottom, two toilet paper rolls and a piece of egg cardboard. I think my crickets live better than ME!
and keep me away from any expos! I promised no more pets and I want more leos!!!!
