I will definitely not be doing this, thank you again for all the advise and help.

Thanks for the response but now I am even more scared to try it.

I was wondering if it is safe to put a few water crystals under my daily greens to keep the moist? Basically are water crystals safe for bearded dragons. I have an issue of my greens drying out too fast. Heat is 70 or a little lower on the cold side, where they are.

I bought a ceramic dish at a dollar store, it is just large enough for the dubias not to escape on their own but my Beardie does step into it and the dubias crawl on her and a few get out. Not a huge deal I usually empty my tank for feeding time and if I did a couple of dubias left in the tank...

Don't have a dimmer and the par38 lights I am looking up seem to cost twice if not more than regular basking bulbs.

My second 100w Zoo Med basking bulb just blew out, that's two in 6 months. They are cheap, but do a great job on providing the right amount of heat on the basking side. Should I get another one of these or can someone tell me of a specific halogen bulb that would work better. I am leaning away...

First night a success! I had a lot to do yesterday but when I got home I pulled my beardie out of her home gave her a bath, she pooped, I set her under the yellow basking light for about 30 minutes, put some medium sized dubias in her terrarium, she ate them, then went back to basking, gave...

Thanks you everyone for the help. I put the yellow basking light back up. I hope she goes back to being active. She basked in it for about 15 minutes tonight, ate 10 medium dubias, watched what was going on outside her terrarium for a couple then went back to her home. Tomorrow I will giver her...

I just have the T5 for light and the CHE as primary heat. The only white light I have is a Mega-Ray 100 watt bulb and I can put it back up. I also have a 100 watt basking bulb but it emits yellow light. The T5 is outside the enclosure sitting on the wire mess top and is about 9-16 inches away...

In the last week or two my 5-6 month old Beardie will sleep all day if I let her. I have to force her to wake up and if I place a bowl of small dubias in the terrarium with her she will eat them and maybe munch on some greens but then will heat up a little and go back to sleep. Could she be...

Every time I look at http://store.kfcfeeders.com/ they are out of stock on what I want to purchase

I would recommend starting your own colony but that takes time might want to start off ordering some feeders my first attempt was with 1000 small dubias I am not sure what temp you "need" to keep them at but I have them in a room around 80 degrees and using a large cricket keeper to house just...

You would be much happier with Dubias, I advised against going to the website above. People here like dubiaroaches.com but I use Amazon and Ebay. Raising a colony yourself is also very easy but takes time to getting it going. I was buying 100 crickets 2-3 times a week and couldn't stand the...

I am betting this has been asked a billion times but when I looked it up on Google everyone had a different answer. a few weeks ago I 1000 small Dubia roaches and noticed there was a black beetle in with them, figured it was a trash eater. Now I have dozens and dozens of little black worms. As I...
