The girl one. I have 5 of these.
The boy ones. I have 3 of these.
I also still have a selection of sizes fromm the original bunch.
Its my own tiny colony, they are firstly pets, if they produce a lot of babies then thats OK but I dont have a massive call for food so even a little bit now and then is fine. |

Where are you Laws? and if there are a few near you you could all put in for the delivery I'm not sure but I think It'd only be about a fiver for a couple of hundred and as much as I'd like to sell them if you paid the postage you could have a few |

Two of my females are looking very rounded they may be ready to drop me some babies soon, if they do decide to drop some babies I'll round a few up for you and post them, see if your gecko-gang like them. Harley eats them but doesn't eat them with the enthusiasm of a cricket, I think they are easier to catch. You want to try them with waxworms too, Harley loves them, its the only thing he will take from my hand. |

the ones she bought were adults (look about the same size as the ones in pics) so would i be wrong in thinking that if they look female they prob are |

Can't even give them away lol, It takes about 6 months for them to reach adulthood |

Its only a small colony but I can build on it and I dont have a massive call for live food so a slow steady breeding rate will be enough but mainly they are going to be kept as pets, they are so cute.
the oh finds them cute and feels sad feeding them to norma. had a look in the pot she got and they all female. will keep a few back and order some males |

They will breed quite easiley if kept warm enough although they tend to breed better when there are more of them, more relaxed in larger numbers, and I've said it before but I'll say it again I've got far too many so if anyone wants some just let me know |

we are thinking of getting some of these too to start a small colony to feed to norma. the other half ordered 50 of them which i have to go and pick up from her work tonight. weather there is a mix of males and females i don't know but if there is i shall seperate a few |
