Black Vs. Brown crix

[Lofty]

What actually are the benefits/disadvantages/differences in these from the point of view of nutrition to the reptiles?

Just intrigued

[t-bo]

Nutritionally I would say none

I think blacks are evil and plot evil things against me. They can chew their way out of almost anything that is not metal, and they are smart. Browns just seem to jump randomly if you open the tub and you know your fingers arent gonna get attacked when you catch them. Blacks on the other hand, will wait calmly until the tub is open and when you least expect it they make a break for it. Ive caught them with tweasers and can feel them biting the ends!! They are altogether evil.

My lizards dont seem to have a preference tho!! lol

I don't know about nutrition, but I prefer the brown ones. I have to agree with CC; the black crickets are evil. And if insects ever take over the earth, the black crickets will be in the front line ready to annihilate all the humans. The browns are more jumpy. But I find that busting their kneecaps or pulling off their big jumpy legs puts all those notions out of their heads pretty quickly. I have the laziest leo in the world and have to take drastic measures.

i agree blacks r nasty!

Yeah, blacks are very nasty. Thats all they had in the shop the other day so im temporarily using blacks. But i could feel them biting the tweezers as well. And they bit poor Gizmo. Its ok gizmo got his revenge with his teeth.

I like using blacks, but only cause there alot easier to catch than browns, and there less likely to escape somewhere into my room !

[SilverSteno]

Well having read a horror story involving what I can only assume were black crick and sand geckos I was quick to switch to browns!

[NNY]

Ive changed to brown. Giz is eating them until tomorrow or wednesday and then staying on brown.. The blacks are horrible

[nicky]

i use black as my gecko just does'nt go for the browns as thier to fast for her and she just gives up, the black ones are much slower...
