Feeding live insects

That sounds like them, Marla. And they're very leggy...sometimes I think it's a big ol' spider. Yuck yuck. But at least they stay down in the basement. Those TX crickets would get into your bedroom and sing all night and you could never figure out where it was coming from. I never minded cricket songs outside...but when its in the same room....ugghhh!

LOL, Judy, yeah it's very distracting trying to sleep in the middle of the cricket opera house! Of course, the fact that the camel crickets stay in the basement isn't especially an advantage when _you_ also stay in the basement. ;) By the way, you can expect to have them in Alabama, too. :lol:

Uuugghhhh....LOL I was hoping they were a Virginian phenom.

Smynx....thanks for the info! I really like your plated lizard. Did you have him from a baby? How easy are they to care for as babies and when they're grown?

i hate cave crickets. i squish on sight.

Tokay geckos have become pretty populated in Florida because people have bought them cheaply in pet shops as pest control and released them in their house. Release four tokays and you'll have a dramatic decreade in insect noticeable at about 2.5 weeks later. Dunno if you should do it tho...

you try it first.

No such luck. :lol: I guess they're an eastern thing or maybe southeastern. I know I didn't see them when I lived in Tacoma, but then again I've never seen a 5-inch long bright yellow slug in Georgia. yecchhh But hey, if you have a cricket-eating pet you could certainly reduce the number of camel crickets in your house. :)
