Huge Crickets

Hi everyone,

I was in a reptile shop recently, and i saw a huge cricket (well thats what it said on the box) and i was wondering what species it actually was. It was priced at £10 for the 1 cricket, but was huge.

Sorry for all of these noobish questions, im still learning and deciding what i can feed my beardies.

Thanks

Karl

Ok, that makes sense.

They were near the lizards, so was abit unsure why anyone would be paying £10 for something to feed to them, when you could actually just get 5 boxes of medium crickets for the same price.

However, could they be used for feeders if i bred them? imagine they would keep a beardy full for a couple of days.

They are very difficult to breed. Also they are well armoured, hence the name, and have a strong bite.

Fair enough, i dont think ill be putting my beardies up against that then.
