A cricket's demise .... not for the tender hearted
For the squeamish, I'd say skip this post.
My B smithii molted yet again not too long ago and now -- with its legs stretched out -- is probably about 4cm long (approx 1.5"). After waiting a few days for the exoskeleton to harden off, I tossed in a subadult cricket. The cricket was about the same size as the T

i kept scorps at one point and always wanted some t's. i know it's not the same but it's the same blood running through your veins (same desire almost). they're a little more active and less intimidating than pj though. kinda hard to convince the wife with kids around.  the kids won't think twice about opening pj's cage without me there. arachnids might be another story...

Crickets are amazingly stupid creatures. My G. rosea has had two or three at once on many occasions. She'd be munching away on one when another cricket would just walk right up to her. You could almost hear that 2nd cricket saying, in a rather clueless cartoon type voice, "Hey George! Whatcha doing up there George? George?" Right before she's smack down on that one too.
Greetings, Thou. |
