    Overfed a ghost?

    I gave one of my l4 ghosts a small roach and it turns out that she might’ve bit off more than she coukd chew because her abdomen looks super plump, and I saw a little drop of clear liquid coming out of the tip of her abdomen recently. What is this? Is she gonna be ok? I’m obviously not going to...

    Red runner problem

    I ordered from someone off of eBay and they packed almost 200 into a 32 oz deli cup, so it's most likely from stress. I had die offs for weeks after and I managed to save around 30-40 individuals. I ended up buying another colony and they've been doing pretty ok for now, I should probably stop...

    Iris orataria is apparently fragile and tough to feed so unless you have some springtails or other minute food source, Id release them.

    Breeding tragedy

    I prefer to literally stuff the female until she cannot eat or just place a bunch of live feeders in front of her

    getting pinheads past the pinhead stage.

    Red runners can’t climb or require substrate. Lobster roaches are also always an option although they can climb.

    getting pinheads past the pinhead stage.

    Even better actually, they run around a lot and never really pause or sit still. Also they live a whole lot longer too. Once you establish a colony of red runners, you’ll never have to buy feeders again

    getting pinheads past the pinhead stage.

    Off topic but I suggest trying red runner roaches. They're smaller and the pinheads stay around the same size as the crickets, but they have a smaller die-off, don't smell as bad, and are a lot less noisy

    Brunner’s hatch time

    Should I put my ooth in diapause then, or at least a place with cooler temps? My garage stays around 60-50 degrees generally, or wpuld that be harmful for the eggs?
