No cricket left behind

So I figured out a new way to sort my crickets that I receive in bulk, without having them escape and go all over the place. Normally it's a two person job for me. I'll shake them out into a garbage bag while my bf holds the box. Then we dump them into the cricket keepers from there. Inevitably, some crickets find their way onto the floors, walls, etc.

I realized that to counter this problem, I simply need my one tegu army. He provides ground support on the floor, and makes sure that no crickets escape hahaha. It's so cute when he chases them down for escaping! Therefore, no cricket is left behind! :mrgreen:

I dump the box into a large tub and scoop out the live ones, from the dead and other crap, into the 10G tank I keep them in. Our cats love chasing and killing the crickets.

You HAVE TO post a video of him chasing crickets!!!!!

HAHA. I'll try to take some pictures of him doing this next time. It is super cute.

By the way - I think I see the start of BUTTONS!!! I think my little Lucky is a boy.

Plus - I just measured him and he is a whopping 27"!!! The last time I measured him he was 22". Wow, he's growing fast.

Tonight he had his first taste of fish and boy did he love it. He ate up the whole plate. Oh man, he has an appetite!
