The good thing about pinhead crickets is that they grow up to be big crickets. When you say working on a pair, you mean negotiating to buy or already raising to breed? I have seen some fabulous red ones and even almost burgundy-looking, which would be really sweet.

Sandiego is more of a brick red, and brownish when he's not fired up. Still, even if all I could breed was buckskins I'd be excited about the babies. I am looking forward to seeing Scooby's babies -- you've probably seen her pics with the gold and white flame, partial pinstriping, and gold harlequin sides. She has several months before she's big enough, though.
