Albino Cricket???
I bought some crickets for my turtles today (again) and noticed a pure white cricket. It was completely pure, snow white except for its eyes and antaneas. Is this rare? Can it be sold for money? (LOL) 
P.S. I'll post some pictures later!

Re: Albino Cricket???
If you don't know any better and you look in a bunch of dark crickets and see a white one its an easy assumption to make.

Re: Albino Cricket???
Yup. I've always wondered if the critters like the soft, white, freshly molted crickets or the crunchy winged ones better. Taste test anyone?
