Hello,
So I only have one bearded dragon and I am not planning on getting any others, I just want to spoil her. However, I’m starting to plan a Dubia roach colony and I have a few questions. I live in a small apartment so I’m trying to keep it small, about a 20 gallon container that will go in my closet. My apartment stays at 78-82 degrees because I’m always cold and the humidity is pretty high due to my location and a few fish tanks in the apartment. Would a 20 gallon storage container with air holes in the closet and roughly 6 females and 2 males be enough to start the colony? And as far as heating would I need to heat it or is my ambient apartment temperature enough to produce? I have small Dubias I currently keep for feeding in the closet and I feed them a mixture of the veggies my beardie gets and fish food, is this an adequate diet for the breeding Dubias?
