Thanks for sticking up for the little guys in there too!


I keep fighting the urge to send pictures of the couple hundred two-month old (plus) larvae and pictures of the now 16 clutches of eggs since December.

If a scruffy hillbilly can pull it off in his basement on a blue-collar budget while dodging frozen burritos thrown by his wife, anyone can propagate these guys to both supply the pet trade AND re-introduce them to the wild. I think the stigma of owning these animals is just as much to blame as the price for the complete lack of solid data of these animals in captivity.

The real problem is that they are not huggably cute and therefore garner no billion dollar sympathy like a certain black and white evolutionary dead=end we all know.
