How much did you pay for the bearded dragons? $175 is the best I've found in Louisville.

For a moment, I was sure you were talking about your company's IT dept... I'm sure that they probably would have a certain amount of fun with 1000 crickets, especially in server room with raised hollow floors. :)

I once let 3 dozen crickets loose in the bedroom of a practical joker who didn't know when to quit. He had to sleep downstairs on his couch for a month and a half while waiting for the last of them to die.

He quit bugging me after that (go figure). :)

It depends how big you buy them. The one I bought was a baby and it was about 3-4 inches long. it costed about $50.

That's a great prank, you should try it. I went to school near Austin, Texas and every year there is a HUGE spike in the in the number of crickets on campus, and the surounding area. I'm talking BILLIONS of crickets, you can't walk without steping on them, and they leap/fly on you at night under the streetlights. I lived in a "Quiet" dorm, and there wasn't supposed to be any loud music or yelling, but the floor below us had some guys that played LOUD country music, and were always raising hell in the hallways which echoed up to our floor. The RAs wouldn't do anything about it, and we were always banging on the floor, and complaining. So, in the middle of the night, my buddies and I scooped up a 5 gal bucket of live crickets, and turned them loose in the hallway of that floor then chased/swept them under the 1" gap at the bottom of the doors. Talk about noise! They got behind the furniture, in the closets, in beds, etc... and chirped all the time! It took several days before all the crickets were either removed or dead. It backfired on us though, because some got up onto our floor, and under our door too, and they jerks downstairs just cranked the music even more to drown out the noise of the chirping. Still, it was pretty dam funny.

I'm glad I didn't have to pay $17 / thousand though, I would have been broke. Hmmm... I wonder where these crickets are from? Could it be central Texas? Maybe somebody at my old dorm decided to go into business for himself ;)

WHY?

You don't have to buy these stuff. Just go to DEAD animal (ANY KIND) and you can pick up a lot of these!! Also if you eat RAW PORK and you can reproduce these stuff when you go to the rest room.

I am betting there is atleast one cat at the bottom and i know a few squirrels. Anyways there is 1 very large frog/toad and 1 medium sized frog/toad in the pool. :)

Crickets would drown before the frogs/toads get them and the frog/toad don't catch non moving stuff I think. I believe one time some nature channel said if the bug in front of them does not move then they won't get the bug. Bascially the frog will die if none of his food move. :D

(Wow a pointless post.)
I'm sure that smells great. Glad you don't live next to me... :roll:
