Sometimes you think they are so smart....

[Jeff_Favelle]

But sometimes not! Ha ha video taping them eating crickets the other day. And this one cricket eluded this young female Ackie for like 10 minutes. LOL! Here's the ending:

Oh yeah. There's no "season" with monitors. They lay eggs all year round. Should be getting a couple hundred eggs fairly soon. We kept back a BUNCH of females from last year that we hatched out, so hopefully we can get 25-30 clutches over the spring/summer.

Cheers!! Thanks! :)

[Bartman]

You gotta teach me how to post up vids!

25-30 clutches!! Thats crazy man, good luck :D

[Tim and Julie B]

I have been thinking that I should add ackies to my collection. I used to love my friends. They are one of the best non turtle/tort reptiles to keep. Mmm..good to know you will have some available. ;) TB

[Jeff_Favelle]

Thanks guys!!!! :D

Adam, to post a vid, you just upload the video to any webspace you own, then post the link like you would a picture. That's it man! :)

[csolis]

Nice video Jeff, I just bred my first ackies at work (where I take care of the breedings), got a clutch of 9 eggs. I tell you these guys really grow on you, they have such personality, think I'm going to have to buy me a few!

[V.hb]

Jeff, thats pretty cool. My female's are just as "slow" hahahaha.

[Tim_Cranwill]

Cool vid! :D

Ok, one thing... we need some commentary, man! You know? A little play by play. ;) :p


P.S. Is all that noise from crickets? Holy smokes! Now I know why you don't sleep much! :D

[Jeff_Favelle]

P.S. Is all that noise from crickets?

Yeah, I breed crickets where in the monitor room. There's probably over 20,000 in that room! LOL!

[Tim and Julie B]

Not commentary you need cartoon sound effects.

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ha ha no kidding!!!

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

JEFF:

[Bartman]

So you would need quite a bit of webspace. You couldnt upload it to photobucket, could you?

[V.hb]

Adam, if you use Rogers@home for your internet, you get something like 2 gigs of webspace when you sign up.

[Woodpusher]

Now that's entertainment!

Thanks for posting

[samurai]

The vids are awesome, keep them coming!!

[paulsreef]

I breed my own crickets also, by the thousand.But there is only one that is somewhere in the heating duct that is driving me nuts, I swear if I had a flame thrower, I'd use it. LOL.

[bistrobob85]

Hehe, i guess i should try bringing a few crickets to my sav and tape it on film too!! Jeff, that small video was hilarious!! The ackie seemed so confused!!

[ATBlover]
