However, this does not mean that anyone ought to be giving their reptiles just any ol’ cricket. No, doing this can harm your pet and is something that you must not do.

If you have a reptile at home you begin to wonder what kind of food to feed it. Do you give it the dried up chum from the pet store or go outside at night and hunt down the crickets that it justly deserves?
