I'm not saying a beginner shouldn't get something a little more difficult to care for. I know people that chose pokies as their first T's. You just have to know what your getting into. So like Donk said research what your thinking of getting.

Yeah the 1 year old 86 pound german shepard is like the energizer freaking bunny. Can be a little much for one person.

I do handle my Lp, and G. pulchripes when I do maintenance. I would not dream of trying it with any of my pokies, they are far to fast for me to handle them safely.

You really can not press very hard on these when your using the drill to cut the holes. It's the same idea when you want to make lids for a 10 gallon tank. Make sure the acrylic fits the tank, drill it for some hinges, then drill it for 2" vents. Finally secure it to the tank with a hot glue...

Gallery, like an area for posting photos? I think there is one, I have not posted anything there yet.

When I have alot of slings I set up a cricket farm in 20 galon storage container. Some prep work is needed in setting this up because pin heads can climb glass and plastic. I take the tub and use the clear boxing tape/packaging tape and tape a ring around the top inside of the container. Pin...

It's not completely molt proof. Some care should still be taken with it.
