That price is what I'd call average if buying from a petstore. Online you can find them much cheaper. Cups of 25 for 10-15 bucks not including shipping.

Got any tomato-growing neighbors? They usually kill 'em on sight, but if you have a l'il chat... (bring cookies!) Of course, this is only good through tomato season (which is upon us now!)

claudiusx":1k65v4wx said:They aren't as bad as some other bugs (such as lightning bugs). The toxin in them isnt readily absorbed in the GIT so it isnt necessarily a death sentence. But, the poison is in the dose. Eat enough of them and the dose will be high enough to cause some serious issues. 1 that gets accidentally ingested might only cause temporary discomfort for them.
Still, it's another reason why it's always a good idea to have some activated charcoal in your beardie emergency kit!
