Highly active, long-lived, and easily digestible staple live feeders—perfectly sized for medium-to-large insectivores.
3/4″ Banded Crickets (Gryllodes sigillatus) are a premium choice for reptile keepers looking for a hardier, longer-lasting alternative to common brown crickets. Measuring 3/4″ in length, these crickets are in their final sub-adult stage (approximately 4 to 5 weeks old). They are harvested just prior to reaching full adulthood, giving them an optimal nutritional profile and an active life expectancy of another 5 to 7 weeks in your care. They possess a softer exoskeleton than other cricket species, making them exceptionally easy to digest.
- Size & Age: Medium-large size, approximately 3/4″ (19mm) in length (approx. 4–5 weeks from hatch).
- Superior Longevity: Naturally hardier and boast a significantly longer lifespan in captivity than domestic house crickets.
- Highly Digestion-Friendly: Thinner, softer sub-adult exoskeleton reduces the risk of impaction for your pets.
- Perfect For: Juvenile to adult bearded dragons, young chameleons, leopard geckos, crested geckos, monitors, and large invertebrates.
Description
Upgrade your staple live foods with our farm-fresh 3/4″ Banded Crickets. Known throughout the reptile hobby for their incredible resilience and energetic behavior, banded crickets are a fantastic, low-stress live food solution for both keepers and their exotic animals.
Understanding Their Life Stage
We ship these crickets right as they reach their 3/4″ sub-adult stage, meaning they are roughly 4 to 5 weeks old. Because they are harvested just before their final molt, they do not yet have fully developed wings, making them much quieter and easier for your pets to catch. Banded crickets are famously long-lived; once they arrive, you can expect them to remain highly active and viable for an additional 5 to 7 weeks when provided with basic food and warmth.
Why Choose Banded Crickets?
- High Activity Level: Banded crickets are natural jumpers and runners. Their constant movement provides excellent physical enrichment and mental stimulation for active predators like chameleons and tree frogs.
- Easier to Digest: Unlike other commercial cricket species that develop a tough, thick shell as they grow, banded crickets retain a remarkably soft body. This ensures high nutrient absorption and safe digestion.
- Less Aggressive: Banded crickets are far less likely to bite or stress out your reptiles if left in the enclosure overnight compared to traditional brown or black crickets.
💡 Storage & Care Instructions
To maximize the lifespan of your crickets upon arrival, follow these straightforward husbandry tips:
- Housing: Transfer the crickets into a well-ventilated container (such as a cricket keeper or plastic tote with a screen top). Provide egg cartons or crumpled paper to increase surface area and reduce stress.
- Temperature: Maintain them at a warm room temperature between 21°C and 27°C. Avoid drafty areas or extreme heat.
- Hydration & Nutrition: Never offer standing water, as crickets drown easily. Instead, provide hydration using specialized moisture gels or fresh slices of carrots and potatoes. Feed them a high-quality grain-based cricket diet to gut-load them with nutrients before feeding your pets.

I’m going to give a 5 star rating even though I had probably 500 dead crickets upon arrival! This is the first time this has happened when getting crickets from you. It seemed like a lot of these crickets were mid moult, I’m wondering if this had something to do with it? Anyway I still recommend you! Sure would like you to get some Dubia roaches!
Majority were dead
