How many silk worms would be 1 adequate feeding when they are large? I've only been giving him 1 in his salad when they get big, 2 if they are medium sized. I ordered more but actually ran out today, so tomorrow I'll be trying out the supers in the salad. Also, are you saying to mix both silk...

Hey all! So, working in an nursing home during this pandemic has made it very difficult to leave on my lunches to come home and give Dezzy his 1st insect feeding. As a result I started leaving his bug dish in his tank before his lights come on as well as his salad. At first he would eat the...

Just straight vibing

Dezzy got a soak and weigh tonight and he is most displeased with me. ? Side note: 152 grams! He holds it well! He absolutely refused to have his length checked, I guess I'll concede on that this week.

Mr. Valdez had a few, depending on his attitude. Dezzy is most common, then there is Sir Stinky (master of the stink eye), Bubs(when he's pulling the cute), and Chunk. Chunk is most recent as he gained ~30 grams in ONE WEEK. We will see if that rate has continued when he gets his weekly bath...

I suppose there's one upside of leaving for work at 5:30-6am for 9 years straight... my morning routine is simple and can be done half asleep ? I've been giving him a different topper and rotating greens daily in an attempt to find what he likes. I've seen him nibble maybe 2 times in the last...

Thank you, I'll be sure to tell him you think so and perhaps it will help his attitude! Lol You'd think I'd remember what I put in his salad bowl this morning but I must have been in auto pilot at 5:30 am ? Hopefully it was the strawberries!

UPDATE: I just realized I put strawberries on his salad this morning.... he stands on his salad sometimes. Could that result in what looks like blood? He also had a massive poo and settled down enough for me to get him put and quickly rinse off his feet. The nails are well filed but no real...

Dezzy seems to like to dig at the back wall of his cave in the evening. I wasnt too terribly concerned as it seemed like something beardies do occasionally. I just got home from work and noticed his nails look like they are so worn down they've been bleeding today. I have not clipped or filed...

That's the issue, lol, finding a supplier close to me. I'm in middle of nowhere Iowa. ? More research is needed on my part, I suppose!

I'll check out reptile deli! I'd rather pay a decent price for good quality, rather than get a load of dead ones. I ordered 200 from 3 different places (all of them were around $25 for 200) just to see what they were like because my closest pet store is 35 miles away and only sells supers and...

This is the dish I'm using https://www.target.com/p/36oz-stoneware-avesta-bowl-project-62-153/-/A-54188841?preselect=53516993#lnk=sametab Its tall enough the roaches cant get out but my 12" beardie can easily climb over the rim and gobble them up! Plus its only $4. Otherwise I'd say pull out...

Are these 2 sites the same supplier? They have the very similar sites and prices, and gotdubia is advertised on dubiaroaches for their 10% off sub and save. I clicked on the gotdubia link because dubiaroaches didnt list any quantities above 200. They too are sold out of the higher quantities...

I thought for sure he'd move last night but no, same position this morning when I went to put his greens in. ?

Yeah. He's back to basking again, the stinker. I'm sure I have a bandana somewhere i can get washed today and sleep with tonight or something. Thanks ?
