[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 274890, member: 1492"] Nice sheet, although I feel it could be mentioned crickets don't need that extreme of a heat source, especially if you are already overproducing for what you need. Heat speeds the the process up, while sacrificing longevity. Since a lot of people are producing for multiple reptiles/amphibians/ect this is considered a boon and one of the plus sides of crickets. If however you are only feeding for a handful of mantises there isn't such a rush. I had a breeder tank going for over a decade and never added extra light/heat source just letting it run at room temp, which at my house is 78-81 degrees. Even so, I still overproduced and was regularly pushing excess off on others I know that use crickets. Actually that was the thing I found most annoying about crickets since if the numbers get too high in the tub they blow through food and it gets messy fast. [/QUOTE]
