Raising cricket is not that hard. All you need is a substrate/soil for the to lay eggs. Keep the substrate moist but not damp. Keep it about 85'F and it will hatch in around 1 week +. I used to breed pinhead myself to feel my baby chameleons.
Is anyone breeding grasshopper as feeder for mantis? I would love to start a colony myself and I was wondering what kind of grasshopper would be suitable? If possible, please post some picture as well. Thanks !
Good luck Rick.... I have the same problem last time. My experience is that they need really tall enclosure with tons of small branches. Apparently they hook their legs onto branches and sometimes have trouble holding on screen. If the idolomantis is on the floor all the time... it is a goner...
You need to find someone from Germany. They are very successful in breeding Parson for a good price! If not you can contact First Choice Reptile or Underground Reptile, they usually import chameleon from Madagascar!

sometimes they have Parson Chameleon listed for sale (I actually saw it last week). Also, do you have at least $15,000.00 to spare? Because, a Parson Chameleon usually costs about $3,000 each!
Good luck Yen,
My luck with Idolomantis wasn't as great. All my males matured way before the females. When my females matured, my males died! Just my luck! Keep me updated, I am interested in some babies, when you have any for sale!
