They are also in the substrate. I found a roach that had either chewed or shriveled wings today also. Could that be because of a deficiency or mites? They don't seem to look alot like the grain mites in my opinion but they could still be. What are other ways to tell if they are?

I was feeding my discoid roaches and I noticed TINY sliver/white insects accumulated on the scraps of food from the last feeding. They're too tiny to take a photo of. I think they are springtails (I never introduced springtails to the colony) but even if they are, do they pose a threat to my...

I was thinking that when I set up a small colony in my bioactive Twenty gallon tank I could maybe add mourning gekcos, a few milipedes, or maybe a anole or two(after extensive research on their care requirements of course). Has anyone tried cohabitating roaches with any other species except...

How does this look? The roaches are coming tomorrow and I'm only getting 20 so I can't mess this up. Should I be concerned about anything in this enclosure? The hottest temp is 92-95 degrees and they have hides on both the cool and hot side. They'll be getting veggies and the Bad Ass Bugs roach...

Thanks a lot for your help.

1. Is it okay to keep both your breeding AND feeder roaches in the same container as long as they have room? 2. Is it okay to have quite a bit of ventilation (screen top) on your discoid roach container even though they love humidity? 3. Can you still dust your discoids if they are already gut...

I haven't found much on the substrate but now I am kind of doubting this decision.. Do you know any big pros or cons about these types of enclosures?

Nevermind!

Good news! She came out looking happy and perky just in time for her last meal of the day. How do you suggest I open her mouth to look inside it?

For those of you with knowledge about this, how do you create a safe soil substrate mix? I wanted to try out the Bio Dude's kit but its just way too expensive for me. If there are any cheaper trustworthy kits let me know please! Also, what plants are safe for beardies that you recommend putting...

It looks like shes trying to fall asleep. Shes just resting her head on the ground and pancaking under her log. Should I try giving her a bath or just leave her be?

Oh, sorry. Here they are Other than the lip thing she does, shes been hiding under her log and just acting pretty sluggish. Shes been hanging out on the cool side of her tank-- It isn't too hot in the basking area(Temp is only 103 to 105)-- and sitting in or near her water. Currently she is...
