Brad: I am using CC Journey, the latest one, and it's on top, and a few of kids mods as well, about 4 or so. Red: Yes, I am selecting the "Just once" button. If I'm lucky, I'll get the right kind of seeds or goods in about 10 individual trips in CC. By comparison, on one trip in the Vanilla game, I get Corn seeds, apricots, flax, bamboo, leather AND pearls, all in one trip. Next, 2 pearls.Īnd it doesn't matter what I ask for on the orders tab, they rarely bring them. On the next visit, he'll have apricots and flax. Example: On one visit, he'll bring Corn seeds. Any way to change this? CC does have some specific merchants. When I played the Vanilla version, I'd get a nice selection of things for trading. Paegin Laborer Posts: How come all the traders in CC only have one, maybe two at most, things to trade when they come around? Very frustrating, like building a 10 foot wall one tiny pebble at a time.

Before the moths die, you can feed them to your reptiles many day geckos, lizards and chameleons will love a chance to eat moths. The moths will mate, lay eggs and die in about five days. Silk moths cannot fly, and they don't eat or drink. After about three weeks, they emerge as silk moths.
While in their cocoons, silkworms shed their skin and become pupae. Around this time, they will stop eating and start to turn a yellowish color before they weave their silk cocoons.
Those silkworms that you hold back to raise will grow up to 10, times their hatchling size by the time they are 30 days old. At any time in this stage, you can offer silkworms to your reptiles - but if you hold a handful back, they will continue to eat and grow until they morph into moths, enabling you to create a steady supply for your pets.
Silkworms are hardy feeders, so provide fresh food daily remove uneaten food so it doesn't mold. Stand the tubes up, or place the wire grate vertically, so they can climb. When the silkworms are about 1 inch long, add paper towel tubes or a wire grate to the setup. Maintain the new setup between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're offering a commercial diet, change the food every eight hours if you're offering fresh leaves, change them twice a day.Īfter a couple of weeks, move the silkworm larvae out of the incubator and into a larger setup. While they're still in the petri dish, provide a commercially prepared silkworm diet or fresh mulberry leaves. Leave the newly hatched silkworms in the incubator for 7 to 14 days. A few days before the eggs will hatch, they will start to turn a light blue-gray color. Using an incubator, maintain the eggs at 78 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and they will hatch in seven to 20 days. After a month, remove the eggs and place about eggs and a damp paper towel in a petri dish. Place the fertile eggs in the refrigerator to stimulate a 'winter' period, which will increase the hatch rate. If the eggs are fertile, they will turn black after three days, otherwise, they will turn white.
In the middle of summer, a female silkworm moth will lay to golden-yellow eggs. Silk moths go through four life stages - egg, larvae, pupae and adults. Raising silk moths for their silk or for food is a fairly simple process. Recently, adult silk moths and silk moth larvae - silkworms - have become a healthy food source for many pet reptiles. For 5, years, silk moths have been a primary source for raw silk.
