Are you breeding these as feeders or pets?

The only feeders are the dubia and red runners. The hissers were suppose to be feeders but they are to cool to feed off lol.

They are like those rams at the petting zoo. If you puch on they're head they start to push back.

Eek >.< My biggest fear is bugs.

The "yellow" ones look cool though!

Haha, use to be the same way but I got over it fast.

Have you seen what the adults look like?

When I got my first dubia colony, I felt like I had bugs crawling all over me and that everything smelled like roaches for a few days lol

The Panchlora nivea is actually rather attractive. Never seem to see them at the herp shows unfortunately. Use to have some hissers but had trouble getting the young to survive and the colony (small to begin with) eventually died out. Currently only have a lateralis colony.

Really? Other then the males fighting I seem to be having success with the colony.
