You can buy or build a self contained unit for breeding these guys or you can make one from a plastic box. It's easiest to breed them outside during the warm parts of the year. Some herps have a hard time digesting them though, watch the feces for any partially digested worms. Most of mine eat them just fine. Video I found on the youtubes (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QtwIwAWoVChMIwc3rq-ydyAIViD8-Ch2meQJE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DA5j 4i8_7fHw&usg=AFQjCNHV5W0h7bYdzLH-ftJxWKMIR_0ryQ&bvm=bv.103627116,d.cWw)

NP! I am planning on breeding some next year myself, There are also videos of people doing it inside but it looks a bit involved, would be easier to breed crickets or roaches (less space, less mushy food).

Roaches would never be allowed in my house and crickets are just noisy so thats why i prefer worms lol.

There is a guy on faunaclassifieds selling them for like 17$/1000 might be another way to get them. It looks like indoors can work if you're willing to put the effort/housing into it. You could probably sell some, too.
