    There's not a specific thing that Versis really like, or is particular to their species??

    Well versis are arboreals and live in south america. Soooo unless you wanna raise flies and mosquitos to feed them, i'd go with crickets, roaches, or worms ;)

    My versis both seem to really love mealworms, so much that the larger one didn't want to eat anything else for a while.

    Not a bad day at the Columbus show today. I actually behaved and didn't bring anything home that I didn't take there. The wife traded for some different scorpion species she didn't have. We have been trying for months to get a table at the Cleveland show and it finally happened today! We were pre paying for next month and the promoter asked if we would like to bend at Cleveland tomorrow because they don't have a bug guy! As far as I know its just this once but its a foot in the door! I'm exhuasted so tomorrow should be fun!

    Good job Damon!
    I would be the 4th bug guy at the shows around here. 3 is already 1 to many :/

    Hey any of you ever used bean beetles to feed slings? I grabbed a colture today to try them. They are about the same size as fruit flies but completely flightless. Very low maintenance and prolific breeders. I'm just worried about the nutritional value. I also got pinheads incase you all advised against using them.

    Callosobruchus maculatus?

    Looks easy enough. I would love to find something really easy to feed the really small babies.
    Let us know how it goes. That's something I might look into.
