Yoda likes to pose for his pictures :)

Hi all, I recently started a Dubia Roach colony and have read in multiple posts to have a growing bin and a breeding bin. My question is, do I need to keep the growing bin warm too? Or is it fine at room temperature (68ish degrees)? Thanks much! Erin

My dad built this for me for Christmas. A little boring now, but will be getting a background and more decorations. Yoda is a happy boy!

Hi all, I have a heating question for you since I am having a heck of a time. I just upgraded my Yoda to a 4x2x2 wood enclosure that my Dad made for my Christmas present. It has a 36" Reptisun 10.0 light, and I was using a 100W ZooMed Repti Basking Spot Lamp for my old setup in an aquarium...

Hi everyone, I am a brand new beardie mom. I adopted my little guy and named him Yoda (I thought his little wave reminded me of a Jedi using the Force). I just love this site because I have never had a reptile before, and am so nervous I am going to mess up and not provide him with the care...
