Cleveland Reptile Show

So tomorrow i am going to the Cleveland Reptile show up here in ohio, its a nice lil show... i am ONLY going to get CRICKETS! and maybe some roaches to breed. lol.


...

...

...

if they have a black blood for UNDER $100 i may pick him/her up too. lol.

as for the roaches, (for my beardie) how hard are they to maintain, and is there anything else, other than crickets and roaches i could get to feed my beardie??

Re: Cleveland Reptile Show

easy to care for, you never need to clean after roaches, the babies eat the poop, as for what to get your beardie, a garden would be nice, lots of veggies, im sure its 50/50 veggies/insects. i think you can get locust in the states, we cant get them down here but read they are a good balanced foor source for minitors at least. Have fun at the show

yea in terms of meat to veggie percentage they will start at about 80% meat and them they will change themselves onto more veggies so it becomes around 60-70% veggies so when mine was a baby he used to get crickets every day and veggies every other day now he gets veggies nearly every day and meat about 4 times a week
