    Tiny, tiny sliver insects in my feeder discoid roach colony?

    I was feeding my discoid roaches and I noticed TINY sliver/white insects accumulated on the scraps of food from the last feeding. They're too tiny to take a photo of. I think they are springtails (I never introduced springtails to the colony) but even if they are, do they pose a threat to my...

    Roach cohabitation?

    I was thinking that when I set up a small colony in my bioactive Twenty gallon tank I could maybe add mourning gekcos, a few milipedes, or maybe a anole or two(after extensive research on their care requirements of course). Has anyone tried cohabitating roaches with any other species except...

    Opinions on feeders? What roaches are allowed in Florida?

    I currently feed my beardie bsf and Superworms but bsf are a pain to feed her with and are very hard to breed. I don't have much trouble with filling her up with Superworms and they never impacted her and she never has had trouble digesting them either. I have had my eyes on Turkestan roaches...

    Two questions...

    Any suggestions for non adhesive shelf liner(That would match enclosure decorations and aren't expensive)? And do you need to dust bsf larvae or the other insects you're feeding with them?

    How bad is keeping a beard in a 40 gallon tank?

    I was originally planning to get a 67 gallon and now it seems I may not be able to. :( I wanted to know if its really bad to consider a 40 gallon? If so, what's more important for beardies: the height or width of a tank?

    How do you deep clean your cage?

    My beardie's enclosure has gotten a little stinky(mostly the accessories and her carpet since I have trouble cleaning them) so I was wondering if there were good ways to deep clean it. I read somewhere that a soapy sponge would work just fine... Is that true?

    Does anyone know how to care and breed for them? What substrate is best for them? What temps they like best? Do the adults NEED to leave the larvae box in order to breed? How many times they need to be misted daily? I read somewhere that its best if they do but I just don't see that working in...

    67 gallon tank lighting and screen top questions

    I plan on upgrading my beardies tank to a 67 gallon pretty soon and I don't really know how many watts on her uvb light would be needed. If you could suggest some trustworthy (but not too expensive ;-;) brands that would be very helpful. I was also wondering if it is required to put your...

    [OPEN]Black soldier fly breeding and care advice needed

    Hello! I wanted to see how everyone on here(that breeds bsf obviously) breeds and cares for their bsf larvae. I never had any luck breeding them in the past and I really would like to try again because my beardie eats ALOT and I'm very worried that I'm not giving her enough. I did see somewhere...
