I wouldn't worry about them being dead on arrival. They are a very hardy insect. I left some in my car for 11 hours and temps where down into the low 50s and they where still breeding. There are many reports of them being delivered in close to freezing temps and appeared to be dead, but after...

Grubs are locust larvae.

I post on a bunch of other forums with Tapatalk and nobody, not even the admis have ever mentioned a security problem. It does how ever make it somewhere in the vacinity of a 100,000% easier to browse and post to the forums on the go! I work 12 hours a day and the boring times I can spend...

I average 21,000 nymphs a month, so I just grab an egg flat and pick off the sizes I need to feed off! I feed my baby leopard geckos fresh molted roaches just smaller than their head. When they hut 30 grams they will take down a fresh molted adult male!

I hate to be bearer of bad news but if you are looking for a cheap and odorless feeder than a self sustaining roach colony is about the only way to go! They are very much so one of the healthiest staples. Supers can be used as a staple but your dragon is a bit small for them to be a staple...

With a human heating pad even on the highest setting it will feel very warm to you but not burn you. If It can not burn you then there is NOTHING in your house that it will catch on fire. Also there is no possible way for them to melt you bin either, they just do not get hot enough. Also all...

It's really not that big of an issue. First off the babies eat the adults poo for the nutrients in it, so you want to have some in the bottom. Second if it is a little deep it gives an other large hiding space for them to hide. I keep mine with about 2 inches of poo in the bottom. I will...

Could be an albino, but it just looks like a female who's shell has not hardened all the way yet.

In my colonies right now there are over 550 females 75 adult males and upwards of 75,000 nymphs! I have a lot and I started with around 300 mixed and 10 adult pairs back in December of last year!

I feed each adult gecko an adult male Dubia every other day or so. Some of the younger adults that are still growing will eat an adult male every day. It just depends on the geckos hunger and metabolism.

How warm do you keep your house? For only one adult dragon you will not need optimal breeding conditions for you roach colony to keep up with demand so you should be able to get by if your house is kept at least in the lower 70s. The roaches will still breed with out the heating pad just not...

All of my adult Leopard Geckos eat the adult male Dubia whole. And some of my juvies 30 grams and up will take an adult male that has just molted. When they are still white and soft the geckos will take them down with no problems. I don't waste any of the adult males, I just separate them...

It will work, the only problem that may show up is that using an absorbent like the cotton will harbor bacteria and will begin to really stink if not changed daily! Any type of moisture source that will prevent drowning can be used. The reason water jell is so popular is it dries out before it...

Being as you are so young you could ask your parents about starting a Dubia colony. After a few months you would be able to feed both of you dragons out of the colony and never have to buy feeders again. Also your mom will not have to go to the pets store for you only to return with the wrong...

In my opinion it is never advisable to keep more than one species of feeder in one container. They will compete for food and inn some cases on species will hunt and eat the new born of the other. This can really decrease the production of both species. If you do not have the room to keep both...
