They do keep their waste separate from the larvae and food, so it is easy to clean, but it is not a lot. I start my colonies in Spring, after the first rain, when qu...

Thank you. I will keep this thread updated on the progress of these colonies as they expand. Unfortunately, the first year of these colonies is slow with little progress. I will only be moving them into a formicarium (ant farm) once they have more than 20 workers, to ensure maximum survivability. I ...

Hi I am looking to get myself either a Crested gecko (Rhacodactylus ciliatus) or Gargoyle gecko (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) I was wondering which would be a better beginner's arboreal? :shock: Seeing that their care is roughly the same, and they originally come from the same island, I would like to ...
