Every month, we're giving away a year supply of free feeder insects.  


And the rules are simple:


    
 	
  1. Post a picture of your amazing pet, their kooky personalities, their adventurous habitats or anything else pet related (important: the month that your picture is posted, is the monthly contest that you are eligible to win).  But how do I do this?  Click the Start a Topic button in the upper right hand corner.  Upload your picture, and give it the title Cricket Contest.  
    2. 
 	
  2. Collect the most Critter Gold for the month (read below to find out more information on Critter Gold)
    3. 
 	
  3. And Boom!  You just won a year supply of FREE crickets
    4. 



What is Critter Gold and how do I collect it?

Critter Gold is a reward system (see here).  Every community member has the opportunity to reward interesting posts with Critter Gold.  If you want to win a year supply of free crickets, post an interesting picture of your pet or habitat so that community members will reward your post with gold.

And anytime you see amazing animals, interesting habitats, or anything else that strikes your fancy, be sure to reward that post with Critter Gold as well.

                    [post_content] => The Critter Forum is a place where new and experienced pet owners can post pictures, habitat guides, questions, and tips about all things related to pets.  We all want the same thing: good health and happiness for our pets.  So let's keep this place friendly, constructive, and supportive by following some basic rules:

    
 	
  1. We encourage you to post these pet related things: pictures, habitats, questions, and anything else pet related.
    2. 
 	
  2. The Critter Forum is for all ages.  Absolutely no adult content. Users will be banned and reported.
    3. 
 	
  3. Be kind.  Everyone here wants to learn, and become better care givers for their pets.  Help others by sharing tips, knowledge, products, and tutorial videos.
    4. 
 	
  4. Be respectful of other people’s opinions and ideas. It’s okay to disagree and have different opinions, but present your case tactfully.  Everyone here wants the same thing: good health and happiness for their pet.
    5. 
 	
  5. No brigading or trolling.  Everyone wants to be an amazing pet-parent.  Rude remarks, trolling, and brigading doesn't encourage this, and discourages everyone from participating and learning.
    6. 
 	
  6. All posts must be relevant to the selected category.  For example, don’t discuss corn snakes on the bearded dragon category.
    7. 
 	
  7. All threads that are nothing but a ‘test’ or an ‘ad’ will be deleted.
    8. 
 	
  8. If you share irrelevant links, your comment or post will be deleted.  If the links are relevant to the thread, that’s fine. Please use your best judgment here.
    9. 
 	
  9. Please don’t use affiliate links in this forum. When you externally link, do it because you want to help someone, not because you see a quick opportunity to make some cash.
    10. 
 	
  10. Try to add value when you post. Don’t just type something along the lines of “What they said.”
    11. 
 	
  11. Use proper grammar to the best of your ability. We understand that English may not be everyone’s main language, but make an attempt. You won’t get in trouble for a misplaced comma or for typos, but it would help everyone if you could make sure everyone understands your message.
    12.

My human, Josiah, is 14 years old and takes great care of me… sometimes he thinks I’m 25% reptile and 75% spoiled! He got me when he was 10, and since then all his time and energy have gone into making sure I’m the happiest little gecko on the planet. 

Sometimes, when Josiah walks into the room my tank is in, I run as fast as I can to the part closest to him and wait patiently. Then Josiah puts his hand in my tank and I will walk onto it, up his arm, and onto his face! It’s soooo much fun!

The breeder I bought this crested gecko from did not know the exact age, but he did say it was a couple of years old. My crested gecko loves to eat crickets and by winning this competition, it will greatly help me to feed this crested gecko and other lizards I currently own.

                    [post_content] => Meet the salamanders of Pringle Nature Center! The names of these four buddies are (in no particular order) Ty, Gir, Sally, and Manda. These four happen to be Easter tiger salamanders, which are pretty common in our area of southeastern Wisconsin. Two years ago, they started hanging out in the water feature next to the nature center and decided they didn't want to leave, even when the weather turned cold, so we brought them into the center and now families get to see them lounging in their tank every day. We think they are about 3 years old, and could grow up to 8-9 inches long within a few years. Like tigers, they are both voracious hunters (chomping through dozens of crickets every day), and expert nappers. We would appreciate your vote to keep up with their big appetites!
