  1. @ferrets95 no just leave the substrate in the container and the babies will eventually hatch.

  2. what wattage should the heating pad be for incubating the eggs? what wattage should the heat lamp be for incubating the eggs if i use that?

  3. If you take a shallow plastic dish and fill it with “dollar store” marbles (single layer) and pour in water, the crickets can easily drink without drowning. The water lasts alot longer than wet paper towels. Hope this helps. 🙂

  9. I have a Savannah Monitor Lizard. Hes about 8 inches long and I usually feed him about 3 to 5 crickets a day plus either a few meal worm, a night crawler, or a pinky, Im thinking of breeding them in 2 1 gallon icecream buckets with about the same setup, and I dont know how long hes gonna eat the crickets, but its gonna be a while. sould I go big and breed alot of them or just stick like 15 or 20 of them in the bucket and just keep getting bigger? The lizard is supposed to get 4 feet long.
