I'm thinking about breeding grasshoppers to feed to my knobtails. I like the combination of alternating dubia roaches and crix, it's worked well, but they pound so many crickets. I'm wondering if it might be easier to keep up with them if I'm feeding grasshoppers. Has anybody had much...

BOTH of the wheeleri females I bred last year shed 41 days into the cooling cycle (Wednesday). I'd never had this with them or any knobtail, and am not sure what to make of it. The fact that both shed, and at the exact same time seemed noteworthy. One of the females needed help with the shed, I...

That's actually just my daughter at the Lincoln Park Zoo here in Chicago. ;-) So that you are not disappointed, below is a picture of a fairly small wheeleri cinctus hatchling. Incubated at an average of 82-84 degrees F for 67 days. Clutchmate was born normal-sized 2 days later; after over a...

How much should an N. wheeleri weight before I put her with a male? The breeder said 10 months, but they look a little thin. Thanks!

I had a few knobtails die about a month ago, and the examination of my collection revealed high levels of E. Coli and Serratia Marcesens, two different bacteria that occur naturally but are harmless under normal conditions. They are "opportunistic bacteria" as they take the opportunity to...

Sorry its taken me so long to put these up, the computer is in the baby's room. The female amyae that I looked at was about 18 months old and had been introduced to a male a couple of times-- at least once with breeding activity. Those of you who have lost amyae near this age, have they had any...

In the past couple of months, i've lost an amyae female (which just happened to be my favorite of the whole collection: absolutely beautiful with a very fiery--but winsome-- personality), and a wheeleri male. There was really no apparent reason for either death. The amyae had not been eating...

My name is Paul de Boer, Jr., and I have just recently become infatuated with the rough knob-tails of AU. I was introduced to them as an investor and just fell in love with the firey little critters. I now own a beautiful colony of Aymae and Wheeleri, which my friend Brian Duracka is kind enough...
