I'd probably poop myself if I saw one of those things face to face... Likely in fear and disbelief.

It just look so.... *shudder* Ew....

[Jeff-TheBiz]

wow... imagine that hitting your windshield...

[JaYson]

[Slade]

Gross!

My Driver would do wonders to that creepy looking creature!

I KNEW IT !!!! Starship Troopers is glimpse into our future... I SAID it and no one believed me. well it starts.....


on a serious note.. thats one big bug.

[peterm15]

Damn. Where can I buy these things. That'll feed my animals for a week.


I give it 5 years until they are commercially available. Maybe less. It only took 2 years for the last cricket species that was found in England to become more available then Acheta domesticus ( common house cricket that can't really survive Canadian climate in large numbers)

Sorry as with cars you learn about reptiles and food when your in the industry.

[Thrizzl3]

they are an endangered species.

In my anthropomorphic imagination, this thing has a monocle and speaks with an uppity british accent.

"Oh I am ever so tired of carrots. What I wouldn't give for a spot of Earl Grey."

[peterm15]

they are an endangered species.

ya i already looked them up... so they may not become feeders anytime soon but gauranteed will be pets soon.

Crested geckos were only rediscovered in 1994 and became widely available in capativity by 2000, now they have one of the largest captive populations in the world. More cresties are owned in capivity then dogs or cats. ( i used to have 100 of them)
( i will have to find that article if someone wants me to site that)

the only problem is no animal can be exported from NZ or AUS so that will make it harder

The Thing would have issues with your insolence......
