[QUOTE="Rick, post: 220535, member: 13"] Welcome 1. Both of those species are a fine choice. Both have similar care and disposition. They are also pretty tough and forgiving of beginner mistakes. 2. Adult males can fly. You can request a certain sex, but it is up to the seller. With many species sexing can be difficult with small nymphs. 3. Those temps should be fine. You will need a simple spray bottle to mist the enclosure once a day or so. 4. The two species you mention need large prey when they get older. Crickets or roaches are going to be a must. It would take a lot of flies to feed them as adults. You could try to keep some feeders in your garage, but they will need more space than a jar will provide. A small rubber maid tub would work better. A heat lamp woudl work better than a pad. [/QUOTE]
