Geez! Do you have a mass insectivorous reptile breeding facility??? That's huge! You can house up to 1000 crickets in a 10 gallon aquarium.

10 gal for 1000 crix!? no way, they are highly carnivorous! you'l end up with many dead quite rapidly.

Thats cool but when they lay eggs, you need to remove them and place them in another container. Read this article and check out the pics. Hope this helps!!!
