I worked at a petstore with a guy who had been keeping reptiles for about 30 years.......I would not trust him to keep a cricket alive for more than a few minutes......just saying......just because you have kept reptiles, or seen them in the wild, doesn't mean you know anything.....I don't know this guy from anyone, nor do I care to, but just pointing out the obvious flaw in your thought proces.....years of keeping experience means absolutely nothing.
