I have no problems with waxworms and other worms, yet I wouldn't pick crickets, jumpers and spiders up for fun :P

I catch camel spiders, scorps, tarantulas, and other spiders. I also breed my own roaches and Isopods. I've breed rats, mice, and asf's in the past for feeders. Not sqeemish at all.

No problem! I love bugs, they are fascinating. I went to the Botanic gardens the other day and they have a indoor jungle set up, well I roach had gotten out so I picked it up. The lady was amazed. I thought it was really funny. But anyways I picked in up and put back in the 'jungle'.

I don't get squeamish about bugs, but I am careful at work with those stupid Jamaican crickets we're getting now. The big ones pack a painful bite.

Completely new to this, I guess I have to stare at the calciworms and Dubia thingies/larva? for a good while. take a deep breath and just go for it, I mean picking them up. As you can see I am a real newbie. Crickets size 4 no problem just afraid they might escape. But it comes along if one chooses an animal to take care of. I hope that picta's can learn to eat freezedried food also.
