I'm attempting to keep HORSESHOE CRAB ROACHES to feed to my growing Chameleon collection.
They require OAK and MAPLE leaf litter.
Florida does have Live Oak. But gathering up a clean bunch of them seemed unfeasible since those areas also contain many other types of vegetation.
So I ordered some Oak leaves on Amazon. It showed a nice, professional package. I was expecting something a little better than what I could provide for myself. But instead I got this for $20.
An actual ZIPLOCK bag filled with Oak leaves, twigs and insects with many of the leaves appearing to have some type of fungus spots on them.
Someone actually just went out into their yard and grabbed a few fistfuls of leaves off of their lawn. And then sold them to me.
I'm not sure what I was expecting. But not this.
I feel like a moron.
