You deserve more subs, I will sub soon, I got inspired to get my own stick insects, they are all spiny leaf insects and I love them so much, most people are right, you are amazing and don’t listen to mean comments, you inspire a lot of people to start their own channels and get their own insects
6:19 yeah I know how bad it can get At my Nans house she had a garden bush and it was infested with Indian stick insect and to this day they still live their. For over 17 year they have been living and breeding on that bush it crazy to me that they live through uk winters and summers crazy bugs God bless all Don’t release no native animals
was very informative. although I've kept tarantulas, scorpions and various other arachnids etc, I've never gotten into stick insects. never knew there was so many.
I am not sure if I want a stick insect, mantis or leaf insect as a pet yet so I'm going to try raising and releasing some of a local species to see if I like caring for the bugs :)
Great Video as usual Sam, Been watching a while. One suggestion though, When you show a small clip of the different species you have, maybe put the species name in the corner? There was one at about 14 minutes that looked interesting, I'd love to know the name :) Also, I've been keeping a few species for a few months now, diapherodes gigantea, extatosoma tiaratum and Indian's, all of which are great and going well. I just (however) bought two pairs of Jungle Nymphs (I think they are 2nd Instar, they are babies but I can tell male from female so maybe they have melted once?), and I keep hearing from different people that the don't eat very much, this seams to be the case, but I am slightly concerned as this is quite different from the other species I already have which seam to eat quite a lot. Just wondering, as I know you've kept Jungle Nymphs before (or still do?), is this normal? They HAVE been eating so I'm not too concerned but I thought I would just check with someone who really knows their stuff. Love the channel! Keep up the great work!
THANKS .. ❤😘👍 1- Can you please list the stick insects who eat bramble ? 2- Where I can find lichi or lichen for the extatosoma tiaratum , Do I need this wood for it ? 3- Can I mix several species of Phasimid in one cage ? 4- Which Stick or leaf insects I can make or produce Morphs ?
Hello. I am looking to get into stick insects, especially with the whole lockdown situation and i was wondering what species might be good for me. Unfortunately, I cannot spend a lot of money on terrariums so what is a small, easy to keep species. I have already looked for enclosures for Indian sticks, however, I cannot find a cheap option for a 30cm by 20cm enclosure. Could you please help me out?
I love my stick insect so thanks for the info . I live in Australia so I only have Australia stick insect but I'll love to get stick insect from other countries
Fantastic video. It would be great to see the general methods of keeping phasmids and how to care for them but still I'd recommend doing some form of "how to care for x-phasmid" in seperate videos, just like your phasmid files videos. In there you could try to inform about sizes, natural habitats, what they eat and if they need something special. There are some videos out there from you about some species, but it would be great if you would do a series of videos about the phasmids you keep for people that don't know how to care for them. Also newer phasmids like Autolyca would be very interesting as there aren't many infos and videos about that species out there. Cheers :)
With tanks and tub enclosures I want to make my own as my dad is good at woodwork we were thinking of making one what looks like a wooden box frame with netting.
Thanks for this informative video! Stick insects are very interesting. I am currently keeping the Indian species and learning a lot about their care from your channel.
Great video very informative! just wanted to point out one thing you mentioned about releasing captive insects bred in to the wild! Even if they are native to said country you are in it's never a good idea to introduce something that is captive bred back in to the wild as the species could have morphed through breeding (you don't always know the background of the animal, somewhere down the line it may have been cross-bred with another species etc.) or even caught something in captivity, thus posing a threat to the wild species and also other native flora and fauna. In some countries it is even considered illegal to do this!
Hi Sam great video again. I am a Indian stick insect keeper. I want to ak you a question about them. How do you know if your stick insect is going to lay eggs?
I have new guinea stick insect, they're not far off from being adults now. I was just wondering the best way to care for and keep their ova, the last time I was unsuccessful and can't find much info online.
Sorry the button didn't work guys... UA-cam was being a pain 😂 there will be cards in all other videos of this series

God bless all
Don’t release no native animals
The species I want mainly feeds on eucalyptus, which I don’t think will be much of a problem seeing as I live next to a Koala reserve.
was very informative. although I've kept tarantulas, scorpions and various other arachnids etc, I've never gotten into stick insects. never knew there was so many.
Thanks for watching. I hope to show some true gems in the future. 😊

Hi Sam great video again. I am a Indian stick insect keeper. I want to ak you a question about them. How do you know if your stick insect is going to lay eggs?
Great video, very helpful as a beginner. Can you keep different speices together that have the same diet and heating requirements?
This video was absolutely excellent and very helpful, thank you!
A blast from the past, how about a video on growing the food plants these animals need.
I have new guinea stick insect, they're not far off from being adults now. I was just wondering the best way to care for and keep their ova, the last time I was unsuccessful and can't find much info online.
