I would off course be breeding feeder crickets.

I have done it in the past but unless you have a ton of lizards I don't advise it. Really all you need to do is get a large tub, put tap around the top, and get about 500-1000 inch long or bigger crickets and keep them feed daily on varying food items, carrots, apples, leafy lettuces, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and most other veggies and fruits in moderation, what every they don't eat with in 24 hours throw away. You could also build a cricket box with two section with a small crease under to allow babies to go over to one side away from adult crickets. which ever way you choose be sure to keep objects in the container for them to lay their eggs on.
knowledge is the key to everything so share it

Probably. I tried breeding crickets once but, they never bred so I just fed them all to my Crested. Somebody should make a book on feeder insect and rodent breeding.

I would totally buy a book on cricket breeding. You can always trust random sites on how to breed feeders.

Right now the computers running a bit slow so I'll put up a link later, but expertvillage.com has a few things on that and other insects. I was thinking of opening up a business to do this to help get money for med school.

That would be nice for a book to be realesed. There was an article on it in an antient (okay, in the mid 90's) issue of REPTILES. I've dug it out several times and have attempted to breed them several times but have failed every time.
