Alright, one of the cray's eggs hatched last night, and I have several more reaching 'breeding' size.

Hopefully in a few months I'll have a large enough colony to start offering some for sale. Let me know if you will be interested. These will not be sold live! Sorry, but this is to make sure there is absolutely NO risk of them getting introduced into the wild as they are a highly invasive and destructive species. They will be prekilled and then frozen. They are fed a high protein diet and veggies.

These can be fed to tegus, along with other lizard species like monitors. I'd avoid feeding them to smaller lizard species as most have a hard time digesting chitin. Turtles love them as well, and so do fish! I feed them to my rainbow shiners (a type of large minnow). They'll also make good bait for fishing. I advise against you eating them though...lol! They are not FDA approved for human consumption.

As soon as the big one's eggs hatch out, I'll get a picture of her. She's pretty big, about 4" and very thick. The babies are born at about the size of a pinhead cricket.
