“A young Bearded Dragon Lizard”

This is what happens when you bring Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into your house.

The roasted ones with chile lime flavor are delicious.

I absolutely abhor the sound of crickets. Why anyone would consider a reptile a pet is beyond me.

Go out back of your favorite grocery store and grab a banana box out of the dumpster.

Place the banana box in your kitchen.

In a few weeks you will have a growing supply of German Roachs to feed your lizard.

Glade to be of assistance.

No bait shops in the land of 10,000 lakes? Our Ace Hardware has crickets.

Saw a ‘dirty jobs’ episode on raising crickets for commercial sales- wow- there is a lot involved-

I wish I was in Tijuana eating barbecued iguana.

Crickets are almost as fun as Guppies to feed to African Cichlids. The only problem is the Cichlids don’t like the legs.

Fun story!

I ordered an investigation into Hillary’s crimes and all I got was crickets...

Easy to see you're a cricket amateur here. Got a box of crickets? Dump them into a plastic garbage bag, preferably a clear recycling bag so you can see what is what, by partially opening the box the crickets came in, then thrusting the entire box, held by 1 hand, into the bag. Rap sharply on the box several times until all the crickets are in the bag. I would suggest emptying the crickets into a Kricket Keeper, which has 4 tubes resting in it. When you want to feed Holly, your beardie, you just lift one of the tubes up carefully, so you don't dislodge any of the crickets hiding there, and shake the distal end of the tube into Holly's tank. If you want to regulate the amount of crickets you give her more carefully, shake the tube into a plastic storage bag, count out the crickets, and dump the rest remaining in the tube back into the Kricket Keeper. Make sure you order some good cricket gut load food, so your crickets are optimally nutritious for the beardie, and supplement that with raw veggie leftovers such as carrot, both for vitamins and water source.

LIZARDS!!

Wish I’d known you needed crickets. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I’d have to kill the biggest, weirdest looking crickets, in my house, you ever saw, every day! Now that it’s colder, I haven’t seen any more, but I know they’re lurking not far away....can I borrow your dragon?

“Well Jiminy Cricket!”

[Rebelbase]

Ping for Bearded Dragons.

Being WaPo I don’t trust the story. Yeah, I believe the writer ordered crickets for the lizard but I think the ensuing chaos is fiction. But it makes for a good story.

Chocolate covered crickets aren’t that bad.

No fishing tackle stores near this town in Minnesota?

[Mark17]

We live in a rural area of northwestern Minnesota.

Hallock? I have relatives, that I think are still there. I assume you are referring to Grand Forks, ND? 👍

After reading this story, the only thing I can say is,

"Build the D@mn Wall !"
