    Raising houseflies in 32oz pots.

    It has large granules of material. Perhaps some one could rig a system in which some of the carefresh rests on some wiring above the fly medium, so that one doesn't have to sort the pre-pupating maggots out of the medium.

    Garter snakes

    Oh wow! A real treat! Looks like a red morph T. sirtalis pickeringi in the first pic, or a T. sirtalis fitchi, followed by a borderline blue-red phase pickeringi in the second. Sorry, garter snake fanatic here. :P

    Crickets like Jalapeno?

    I used to have a friend with blue and gold macaws. Apparently, parrots love peppers because they have very few taste buds, and the spiciness from pepper actually lets them taste something for once.

    Mending Net Cages

    I use hot glue on my roach and mantid screens. Works in the same way as the shoe goo stuff, except you have to wait a sec for it to cool before touching it. (Duh. lol)

    The other fruit flies

    Hmm... They're always hanging out near my sunflowers... Maybe they eat those? I'll try mashing up a sunflower plant with some fruit for them... And yes, I did. They're 1000000000x better than fruit flies, even if they can fly! I'm using them for my toadlets and for my mantids (If you give them...
