cheers, i got myself a cricket tank which should be okay. I was looking for Dubia roaches but the reptile shop is shut on wednesday so had to go to pets at home ( the american equivalent of pet smart) but they didnt have any so i got crickets and a tank which is really good actually by exo terra :)

Hi i own a T (chilli Rose) and a pacman, both obviously needing live foods. I had crickets for them both in my room but some got out and my parents flipped and said they had to be kept in the shed. where they all died as it get really cold in there. So i need a staple food that can stay in my...
