                    [post_content] => What makes crickets so great and why does every reptile owner buy them?
Crickets are probably the most popular feeder insect for reptile owners.  You can find them in nearly every pet store, and there area a number on insect farms that breed them for reptile (and human!) consumption.  But why are they so popular?  They are not the most nutritious.  Many other feeders are more nutrient rich than crickets.  And there are more user friendly options as well.  Crickets notoriously stink, so it's best to keep them somewhere other than your home.  And they can bite if you handle them.  So the question still remains, why are crickets such a popular feeder option for reptiles?

Here are the reasons:

 	nutritional

 	crickets pack a protein punch, which all reptiles hunt for.  Their muscular bodies are loaded with lean protein, which makes them perfect prey for many popular reptiles.  Their nutrients are not perfect, however.  They have a low amount of fat, and their calcium to phosphorus ratio isn't perfect.  So they do need to be dusted.  But most insectivorious reptiles need a feeder that is 30-60% of protein, and that is high in fat content (40-70%).  Crickets fit this profile pretty well with a body composition of 66% protein and 22% body fat.  The extra protein makes them excellent for young bearded dragons who are looking to grow quickly.


 	affordability

 	crickets are the most affordable feeder insect.  We sell 1000 crickets, any size, for $25 and free shipping.  Roaches are treasured by many reptile owners, but you can get nearly 10x the amount of crickets that you can get for roaches.  1000 small roaches will cost $75.  Which is obvious to see why crickets are a better value.  Superworms are better priced than roaches, but they too are more expensive than crickets.  1000 large superworms are $36 with free shipping.  And even though superworms and roaches are slightly better nutritionally, you'll still need to gut load and  dust both superworms and roaches.  But don't be dissuaded, because all reptiles enjoy a varied and diverse diet.


 	abundance

 	Crickets are prolific breeders, which means there is always a cricket supplier ready to unload crickets of any size and quantity.  Roaches usually take about 6 months to grow from their egg into an adult.  And superworms can take 1 year!  Crickets will only need about 2-4 weeks.  So crickets, despite their nutritional downside, are generally readily available.



Crickets are not the only feeder option available - but they are the most popular.  Roaches, superworms and black soldier fly larva are all popular as well and can be found on our storefront.  But by a large margin, crickets are the most preferred feeder on the insect market.

                    [post_content] => Which is the best pet snake for beginners?
We're nominating the corn snake, milk snake, and rosy boa as best beginner snakes!  But we know there's a bunch more worthy contenders!  Let us know which snakes you think are the best for beginners and why? 

  

We have a few thoughts on the popular question, and wrote a comprehensive beginner pet snake guide on the subject.  Out of the most popular pet snakes, milk snakes, corn snakes, and rosy boas are great options for beginner snake owners.  But why?  What is it about the 3 snakes that make them so easy and beginner friendly?

We have a few ideas on what makes pet snakes easier than others.

 	Docile temperament - all 3 of these snakes are relatively docile.  They do not mind handling, and can even grow affectionate with owners
 	Expense - all 3 of these snakes are relatively affordable, with the corn snake being more affordable, then milk, then rosy boa.  All 3 will cost about the same to set up a proper habitat (rosy boas need more bedding however), and each one will have roughly the same monthly expense.
 	Cleanliness and sanitation - These snakes are relatively clean, but will need daily spot cleaning.  Remember, cleanliness and sanitation is critical for good health.  So be sure to spot clean daily.  And keep an eye on the water dish for your rosy boa incase they decide to take a trip through it.
 	General maintenance - Milk snakes and corn snakes are practically identical with their humidity and temp requirements.  Rosy boas are a little more finicky, and will need temps slightly higher.  And their humidity requirements should settle around 40%.  If they start to shed, you'll want to bump up that humidity to about 60%.  You can use a reptile fogger to help boost that humidity.
 	Friendliness - A new pet owner cannot go wrong with any of these snakes.  Each one is friendly and will explore, and can be held gently.  As long as the new owner is mindful and careful, any of these snakes are great for beginners.
 	Are you a frequent traveler?  Not a problem, because corns, milks, and rosies can be left for up to a week without a feeding.  It is recommended, however to have a sitter check in, to perform the daily spot cleaning.  And also check on the water.

                    [post_content] => How many insects to feed a Leopard Gecko?
Leopard geckos are some of the most popular reptile pets in America.  They are low maintenance, easy to care for, and if properly cared for, can live for 20 years.  But providing them with the proper diet is critical to ensure they can maximize their health and happiness.

Unlike bearded dragons, leopard geckos only eat insects.  So they do not need to be fed a diet of fruits and vegetables.  But their insects need to offer the proper nutritional  value:

 	high in protein (30-60%)
 	high in fat (40-70%)
 	low carbs and indigestible fiber
 	phosphorus to calcium ratio - 1 part phosphorus to 2 parts calcium

There are a variety of insects available, but each one offers a different nutritional profile.  It's always best to offer a variety.  But it's good to know which feeder offers what type of nutritional value.

The have an extremely short digestive track, which means they are not able to digest the fiber in fruits and vegetables.  Therefore their source of nutrition comes from insects.

It is still important to gut load and dust your feeder insects.  Leopard geckos are reptiles, and need to get calcium from supplements.  So be sure to dust your bugs with calcium dust to avoid metabolic bone disease.

It is important to gut load your insects.  However, do not gut load theme with additional protein.  Too much protein can cause internal problems for the leopard gecko, causing grout and even death.

The best time of a day to feed your leopard gecko is the in the evening, when they naturally start hunting.
How many crickets for my Leopard Gecko?
Crickets are a popular food for leopard geckos.  They have a pretty good amount of fat (24%) and protein (66%) for your leopard gecko.  However, they have a poor phosphorus to calcium ratio (3.7 phosphorus : 1 calcium).  This means if your leopard lived only off crickets, they could potentially suffer from a calcium deficiency.  So we strongly recommend that you dust your crickets with calcium powder to bump up that calcium.

 	Young Leopard Geckos (0-4 months old) = 4-8 1/4" crickets once per day.
 	Juvenile Leopard Geckos (4-10 months old) = 6-10 medium crickets 5-6 days a week.
 	Maturing Leopard Geckos (10 months and older) = 6-10 large crickets 2 to 3 times a week.

The length of crickets and other insects to feed will be around 1/4" inch for hatchlings and babies, 3/8 inches for juveniles (4 months and over) and 1/2 to 1 inch to adult leopard geckos (10-12 months old).
How many superworms for my Leopard Gecko?
Superworms are a popular feeder insect for leopard geckos.  They're loaded with protein (47%) and fat (42%).  But their phosphorus to calcium is worst than crickets - 1 part calcium to 1 part phosphorus.  Unfortunately, this means the superworms should never be used as a staple feeder for your pet.  And when you do use the superworms, you should absolutely dust them with calcium powder to bump that ratio down.

 	Young Leopard Geckos (0-4 months old) = 6-10 <1” Superworms per day
 	Juvenile Leopard Geckos (4-10 months old) = 6-10 1”-1.5” Superworms every other day
 	Maturing Leopard Geckos (10+ months old) = 6-10 2” Superworms 2-3 times per week

How many dubia roaches for my Leopard Gecko?
Dubia roaches are quickly becoming some of the most desired feeder insects for many pet owners.  And their nutritional value satisfies many of a leopard gecko's needs.  Their fat (24%) and protein (46%) are very close to the desired range.  And they have a much better phosphorus to calcium ratio than crickets and superworms (1 part calcium to 1 part phosphorus).  Although this ratio is better, it still falls short to the 2 to 1 ratio, so it's important to dust them with calcium powder.

 	Young Leopard Geckos (0-4 months old) = 4-8  ¼ inch roaches every day.
 	Juvenile Leopard Geckos (4-10 months old) = 6-10 1-inch roaches 5-6 days a week.
 	Maturing Leopard Geckos (10 months and older) = 14-16  1.5-inch roaches every other day.

The length of roaches and other insects to feed will be around 1/4" inch for hatchlings and babies, 3/8 inches for juveniles (4 months and over) and 1/2 to 1 inch to adult leopard geckos (10-12 months old).
How many black soldier fly larva should I feed my Leopard Gecko?
Black soldier fly larvae and leopard geckos are an amazing pair.  But they are a lesser known feeder option for many leopard gecko owners.  But, from a nutritional point of view, black soldier fly larvae are superior compared to every other insect.  Their protein (45%) and fat content (36%) is in the sweet spot for a leopard gecko.  But most importantly, they have a perfect blend of calcium and phosphorus (2.6 calcium to 1 phosphorus).  This means they don't need to be dusted, but most importantly, it means they can provide the necessary amount of calcium for your leopard gecko.  But it's still important to gut load them.  Black soldier fly larvae are amazing composting grubs, so they can eat practically anything.  But if you're using them as a feeder, then you'll want to feed them nutritional fruits and vegetables.

 	Young Leopard Geckos (0-4 months old) = 4-10 ¼” BSFL per day
 	Juvenile Leopard Geckos (4-10 months old) = 5-10 ½” BSFL 5-6 days a week
 	Maturing Leopard Geckos (10+ months old) = 5-15 ¾” BSFL 2-3 times a week

However, blackberries are a little bit harder for bearded dragons to mash up in their mouth. But, it is safe for bearded dragons to feed blackberries. You can feed a few blackberries to your dragon every week. Blackberries are not much dangerous for beardies. In fact, bearded dragons love to eat fruit such as blackberries, apples, watermelon, and other fruits as well.

            [post_content] => What makes crickets so great and why does every reptile owner buy them?
Crickets are probably the most popular feeder insect for reptile owners.  You can find them in nearly every pet store, and there area a number on insect farms that breed them for reptile (and human!) consumption.  But why are they so popular?  They are not the most nutritious.  Many other feeders are more nutrient rich than crickets.  And there are more user friendly options as well.  Crickets notoriously stink, so it's best to keep them somewhere other than your home.  And they can bite if you handle them.  So the question still remains, why are crickets such a popular feeder option for reptiles?

Here are the reasons:

 	nutritional

 	crickets pack a protein punch, which all reptiles hunt for.  Their muscular bodies are loaded with lean protein, which makes them perfect prey for many popular reptiles.  Their nutrients are not perfect, however.  They have a low amount of fat, and their calcium to phosphorus ratio isn't perfect.  So they do need to be dusted.  But most insectivorious reptiles need a feeder that is 30-60% of protein, and that is high in fat content (40-70%).  Crickets fit this profile pretty well with a body composition of 66% protein and 22% body fat.  The extra protein makes them excellent for young bearded dragons who are looking to grow quickly.


 	affordability

 	crickets are the most affordable feeder insect.  We sell 1000 crickets, any size, for $25 and free shipping.  Roaches are treasured by many reptile owners, but you can get nearly 10x the amount of crickets that you can get for roaches.  1000 small roaches will cost $75.  Which is obvious to see why crickets are a better value.  Superworms are better priced than roaches, but they too are more expensive than crickets.  1000 large superworms are $36 with free shipping.  And even though superworms and roaches are slightly better nutritionally, you'll still need to gut load and  dust both superworms and roaches.  But don't be dissuaded, because all reptiles enjoy a varied and diverse diet.


 	abundance

 	Crickets are prolific breeders, which means there is always a cricket supplier ready to unload crickets of any size and quantity.  Roaches usually take about 6 months to grow from their egg into an adult.  And superworms can take 1 year!  Crickets will only need about 2-4 weeks.  So crickets, despite their nutritional downside, are generally readily available.



Crickets are not the only feeder option available - but they are the most popular.  Roaches, superworms and black soldier fly larva are all popular as well and can be found on our storefront.  But by a large margin, crickets are the most preferred feeder on the insect market.
