hand experiences have found that speckled feeder roaches are alot easier to
keep and reproduce than crickets.. a good idea before you started to setup a
colony would be to buy a small container from a local petshop where you buy
your crickets just to see if your herps like them..
The below link is a caresheet on how to keep and breed SPR's; http://www.herpshop.com.au/CareSheets/FeaderRoach.html |

Good point mate. A few weeks ago I started a little experimant where I put one tub of crix on a heat mat and the other beside it not on one. Both were otherwise identical. Now 4 weeks later the tub on the heat mat has hundreds of pin heads and the other just dead adults. |

I made a cricket palace today. Fingers crossed it's all in working order, do you think if I play some Glen Miller in the background they'll be encouraged to breed? |
