Dubia are tropical. The best temps in my experience have been 88/90 and 40-50% humidity.

Yes, but the live traps are glue traps and that is how they work.. Also if you have the b lateralis or lobsters, the boric acid mix works superbly.

You wont notice them eating much if you have only a few ounces of dubia. Even when i set up a new bin with a 1000 or so females and a few hundred males, they do not go through much food, until the tens of thousands of babies start showing up and chowing. Also I bet if you look closely at the...

Well, the roaches are climbing or getting out somewhere. With how small the babies are you may be dropping one or 2 now and again and not know it. Some of the grocery and home improvement stores carry peanut butter scented live catch non toxic mouse traps... the roaches will find them easily...

If your colony is growing too fast there are 2 very good options to control growth....my first and favourite option MORE BEARDEDS, or a savannah, blackthroat, or other large monitor :wink: , or lower the temp on the roaches to about 82 and that should slow down growth and production a bit.

Roaches are the way to go. If you spend a little bit up front and wait long enough, you will NEVER buy feeders again. :D and if things get really bad moneywise. you could probably feed your roaches off of your kitchen scraps to get you through the rough times. Also , your savannah needs alot...

My personal opinion is all of them. I feed mine a variety of roaches but I am starting some supers soon and maybe some other insects as well as I keep other insect eaters too. Variety is probably the absolute best even if doesn't include roaches or some of the other staple insects out there. Of...
