Message: <blockquote data-quote="novakdesigns" data-source="post: 20085" data-attributes="member: 1026">I feed mine crickets. Some of my other Ts uSed to like locusts and friend feeds her cockroaches. I went to buy crickets for Marilyn yesterday and received a mouthful off lady in pet shop. She asked what lizard i had so i said, they are for my spider. She told me not to be so bloody stupid and that crickets are dangerous and will kill spider and i should only feed her locustsand if i didnt know that then i shouldnt be keeping Ts!!!  I pointed out that a) i never leave loads of crickets roaming around her tank to jump on or bite her b) bloody locusts just go to the lid of tank and hang upside down there c) even if locust stays on ground for a bit she shows no interest.I know people have their diff opinions and things they prefer but to speak to me like i was stupid/ animal harmer really annoyed me</blockquote>
