Not all crickets are created equal—and choosing the right kind can make a big difference in your pet’s health, enrichment, and your overall experience as a keeper.

At Lace Canopy Exotics, we’ve made the choice to exclusively feed and offer banded crickets—and here’s why they stand out from traditional house (brown) crickets:

Why choose banded crickets?

✔ Gentler feeders Less likely to bite you or your pet (unlike house crickets, which may nip when hungry)

✔ Quieter Smaller wings = significantly less chirping noise compared to loud adult house crickets

✔ Less odor Cleaner and less smelly—especially compared to house crickets after they die

✔ Longer lifespan Hardier and live longer, reducing waste and frequent replacements

✔ Disease resistant More resilient to viruses that commonly affect brown house crickets

✔ More active = better feeding response Their movement stimulates natural hunting instincts and provides enrichment

✔ Flightless No surprise flyers escaping your enclosure

✔ Softer exoskeleton Easier for many reptiles to digest
