What did I tell you about answering my threads beeotch. ;Pcarpe scorpio said:
crickets will eat just about anything, I used to seal my tanks with sticky tape till I found out they liked to eat itNYbirdEater said:
How did you grow a mango tree in a tank? Was it a large tank like 29 gal Tall or larger? Besides the gluttonous crickets, did you notice any other pests in the tank because of the tree? Pretty cool by the wayJ Morningstar said:I had grown an awsome mango tree in one of my millipede tanks and 1 singular cricket bastage got in and 5 weeks later the place was over run with crickets and they ate the entier tree!!!!
Dammit, I hate those guys!
I wanted to set a a vivarium for my tarantula but I didn't want to worry about pests.
I have found many a sadist amongst the archno collectors, not implying of course that the site of a cricket getting nailed makes you chunky in the pants ;Pcarpe scorpio said:
, now I only put in a few that will get eaten almost immediately.
I do the same now too. I usually take out uneaten crickets from my other tanks, but my communal tank is too large and there are too many hiding places for them. Thanks for the info.Goliath said:I have found that the crickets like to eat the plastic vines that are in some of my tanks. One of the miniture orchids I have in my D. diadema was just about to come into bloom and the crickets ate all the flowers one night before they even opened. I really do hate the crickets

I got lucky with a still fruity pit and yes the tank is huge like 50 maybe 60 gallon hex tank.NYbirdEater said:How did you grow a mango tree in a tank? Was it a large tank like 29 gal Tall or larger?

Damn that bites! Not to gross you out, but hopefully the eggs weren't in the fruit you ate before putting the pit in... dread the thought. I'm not up on my Pede FAQ, what are AGB?J Morningstar said:I got lucky with a still fruity pit and yes the tank is huge like 50 maybe 60 gallon hex tank.
I just unfortunately had another weird infestation and am sterilizing the soil right now. I don't have a clue what these things were but they grew wings eventually and REALLY PISSED ME OFF!!!!!!(and no they were NOT fruit flies, fruit flies don't kill millipedes!!!)
Lost a few really nice big AGB specimens!
Damn straight Carpe!Die! Die! Die! ;P
That really cool
No the new infestation and the weird black bugs were a soil change and 5 months apart. The mango was delicious.NYbirdEater said:
I am thinking of getting one of the AGB pede's for my son, they seem to be the most docile. Not to get off topic, I am curious how did yours attack the crickets? Does it roll around them or something? How does it deal with the hopping of prey?J Morningstar said:No the new infestation and the weird black bugs were a soil change and 5 months apart.

A African G Giant B Black millipedes.
Oh yes and "DIE CRICKETS DIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
every time I see a stinger plunge into one of their heads it makes me think of purple sunsets and the blue danube... I mean DIE BEEOTCH DIE, that's what you get for raping that little girl in your last life... christ I need to get some sleep 
Dude, I am sorry you misunderstand the crickets in the millipedes tank was one of my worst accidents ever. Millipedes do not eat live food nor should you even jokingly put a cricket in with them. I was cleaning and feeding all my "bugs" when a small cricket got into the millipede tank when it jumped off me.NYbirdEater said:I am thinking of getting one of the AGB pede's for my son, they seem to be the most docile.

I feel you on the cricket thing, although everything in this world seems to have a place, crickets and roaches and mosquitos amongst other things, could have been kept out of the loop if possible. After a few cricket escapees and a few that hopped on ME
