Wikipedia isn't a reliable source for researching these animals. I wouldn't be surprised if the person who included that bit of information had never owned this species in their life. What I'm getting at is that a book written by someone like Michael Jacobi or Stan Schultz is a much more reliable source of info and that has to do with the credibility of the author. The folks on this forum are a lot more knowledgeable and credible as well. Obviously everyone has different levels of experience, so some of us will be a tad more credible than others, but I'd take the advice of even the less experienced members here than on Wikipedia or pet bugs or sources like those.</p></blockquote><p></p>
