death to crickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all right so i let my taller younger brother have a corner in my room (we share bedroom) and he has a gecko and he feeds it crickets.

and what do crickets do other than satisfy the hunger of the gecko?


they by definition "produce a SHRILL chirping sound by rubbing the front wings together"
so instead of geting an extra hour or two of sleep that i wouldnt have gotten any way due to having set my alarm clock by accident i was rudely awaken by a shrill chirping sound at 5am

this has happend before and the last time i got up went over to the little case that contains the beasts and gave it a little shake that seemed to shut them up for a few hours.

but no this time i get up and shake the case and they are silent but i can hear across the room SHRILL CHIRPING the stupid things got out and decided to wage war upon me from under my bed!

I could hardly be on your side having geckos myself..Ahaha


Just cope with the noise, it's not that bad...it's almost like you were camping outside.. :D

I still say make a cricket pizza

when you devour your enemies, you inherit their powers

I used to have a pair of chameleons that I kept crickets for. Well, sometimes the crickets would escape and we'd find them hopping around the house, or hear them, then catch them and put them back in their box.

Well, one night my sister said, 'hey, there's a cricket in the hallway!' I saw a dark shape on floor in the hallway (I didn't bother turning the light on, or it would scare it away). So I put my cupped hands over it so it couldn't hop away. Just then, my sister flipped on the light, and I see that I'm holding my hands over a HUGE black spider! Well, being the arachnophobic that I am, I start freaking out and was totally traumatized for awhile afterwards. My sister almost met her demise that fateful night...

Lol...Could've been cat poo aswell..That would've been funnier :D

that would freak the hell out of me, too!

Medium sized spiders are the worst. Big enough to look freaky yet small enough to scuttle around without being seen... ugh!
As for crickets, they are cute. In a way

I like crickets, and I love the things they are fed to. Reptiles rock!
