Freakout time

By cricketeer - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, as my son carried the cage with live food for his pet lizards up the stairs, I heard the sound of 2,500 baby crickets escaping. FML

Ahhh I know how much that sucks - I have lizards, and when one or two get out I get all uncomfortable haha... I can only imagine 2500. But it's beyond me why you have that many, because to feed one of my lizards it only takes a few dozen, because the crickets won't live much longer than a week or so.

You are going to have to slowly get on the crickets' good side and mate with their women

...um...people, the OP said her son's pet LIZARDS, implying more then one. Even though 2500 still sounds rather high - but who knows, the only way to tell would be by what kind of lizard, how many, how many crickets the thing eats, etc. FYL OP. :/

He's a dinosaur, not a lizard! Check AronRa's "Terrible Lizard Classification" video on Youtube to see a breakdown.
