I used to breed them by the hundred in enclosures which cost me $3 to buy and about 50c to modify I'm sure Inkslinger's one looks better though

They're cool looking but I find them a little boring myself.. Maybe it's because i have a penchant for venomous and pain inflicting things?

It'd be a pain to have to supply them with fresh leaves etc constantly. That being said, the ones I have handled were really cool. Like robots.

Yeah I know. My brothers enclosure has nothing on this one. Although it will do the job for now until he gets something like this. Plus is think he bargained them to get an extra couple or something. I can't believe how much these things can go for, a local petshop to me is charging $45 dollars for a singles stick insect!

Its set up for display at my place of work so yep I think its worth the $50, but I agree with you John if breeding simple and cost efficient is the way to go.

 

[PhilK]

Woah cool work place! What is it? A zoo?

 

[DiamondAsh]

Nice Inks, I always have a look at them when I'm in there.

[Viridae]

Oh aad I want a litter bug, rhino beetles or a giant millipede!

 

[PhilK]

Centipedes are cooler!

 

[Viridae]

Centipedes are cooler!

The whole hunt and devour thing is cool though.
