You should get at least 5000 a week with a 50/50 male/female ratio. I never had more than 90 beetles and I had a minimum 1000 a week. I changed them out every week until I realized how much they were producing.

I did that too and now he will only eat the white ones. I will put 10 regular and only 2 white and he will pick out the white and ignore the rest. If I give no white he will not eat at all. I have even tried not giving him white for a couple of days but he still won't eat the regular ones.

If you move the carrot you will definitely see them easily by 3 weeks. 2 weeks you "think" you see them but definately by 3 weeks. I can count my worms by 4 weeks. I have never seen eggs though. 20 beetles 50/50 male females should produce at least 250 babies a week. OP needs to describe their...

Depends on the temp and humidity I think. Would only be a guess at least a month for the larger ones.

No they are not fully grown which could be around 50mm judging from the size of mine.

I have no idea how much to sell them for. Never really thought about selling. My solution was buying 2 more dragons, lol, but they barely put a dent in it when the last couple of months the roaches are producing at least 4000 a month. This after having a 6 week period where I didn't feed any...

Thanks for replying. Ever hear of anybody ever having a problem? BTW, Momto3boys thanks again for your help getting me started with the roaches back when I first joined the forum.

Sorry for the hijack but to the ones who contacted dEEjHaY, I have questions. I have way more roaches than I need and even taken them out of a heated closet to hopefully slow them down. Waste of money feeding more than I need and the extra work and room needed,etc. How do you ship them? Do you...

How many beetles maximum should you have in a 15" x 10" x 6"h bin? Can you have too many beetles per container?

Thank You Frances.

So nobody knows? Mr. Wolff? I think the bad batch #s should be posted in the original post of this thread. I think J1 is one. I don't want to use a bad bulb and risk hurting my dragon and I also don't want to throw away a perfectly good bulb that everyone loved prior to October 2009. This one...

What were the batch #'s of the original bad bulbs? I just bought a used setup (their dragon died) that included a megaray bought last December.

I want to get another dragon and saw an ad for the following: Hypo-Leatherbacks (het translucent) Leatherbacks (het hypo-translucent) The sire is a hypo-translucent and the dam is a red Italian leatherback.

My daughter's does the same thing. She has hers in her classroom during the week. The kids get a kick out of it, like a lotto for who gets pooped on. Almost like he does it for their reaction because he doesn't do it on weekends when she brings it home.

Yes, I pay 14 cents per KW here. Some places pay only 5 cents per KW from what I have heard. In order for your lights to raise your bill $150.00, your state would have to charge over $1.85 per KW. There is no place that comes anywhere near that because only the rich could afford to pay that. I...
