ever entertaining...visit to local petstore

[wyethia]

So, I was looking for some extra fruit flies till mine start hatching out of their pupae...and I found this cool little store here locally that specializes in reptiles. They have 32 oz fruit fly cultures for... <choke> 9.99. begars can't be choosers I guess. And they have real pinhead crickets (woot!).

anyway, I was a bit amused to see they had (their terms) "regular" hydei...which mysteriously are the size of melanogasters...and "MEGA" Hydei's, which are the size of hydei's. Am I losing my mind or do they just have these labeled weird?

The good news is...very nice, very clean well kept store. They sell frozen feeders for snakes and have a really nice selection of reptiles.

..and my lineolas and Chinese LOVE the crickets. Life saver until my house flies arrive. I am curious if S. lineola's like crickets better than flying insects..they got seriously excited by them.

If it moves, it excites them. Very aggressive. I love how they chase down what they want.

They seem to like the crawlies better than the flies!

Do you want to throw out a plug for your local store?

Do you mean, what is the name of the store? It is Reptile Specialists. I did find a very deformed skink there today, it looked very wrong. The store was too busy to get the scoop though. They have some absolutely gorgeous healthy adult iguanas too...

Is that Tuscon or in Ohio?

I think that its the one on Speedway in Tucson. It's been around for decades.

Where's Ohio?
