damn thats alot of money where i am they range from 30cents to 75 0.0

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

Once you have a few of these you can make a million more for next to nothing! XD

[pedelpopper]

@JCMDIweirdStuff how many do you need to make a good colony i have reptiles that love these things ;)

[JCMDIweirdStuff]

In-breeding can be a problem, so I'd guess you have to maintain 100 or more in order to keep the population healthy and on-going... If you have a LOT of reptiles, you may need even more than that. You will also need a LOT of Mulberry leaves to feed them :-)

@jcmegabyte i do mealworms superworms and crickets allready was gunna do these for a snack food :P maybe ill try waxworms

[jcmegabyte]

Meal worms might be a better choice... easy to rear and will eat your leftover foods XD

[pedelpopper]

The caterpillars themselves don't have much smell at all. If the cages are kept clean, the strongest smell is the Mulberry leaves that the caterpillars are eating :-)

[woshigepro]
