You should look into silkworms to go along with the dubias. I haven't tried hornworms but understand they are difficult to breed. The hornworm moths are large and fly around and therefore need a lot of space. They also have to be fed nectar, although I have heard you can substitute sugar...

They are also more hardy and resist disease and bacteria better than the typical white ones, so if you have the option between the two, you should opt for the zebra ones as they are easier to care for. Kyle

I agree with Kingofnobbys that ideally supers should definitely be used as a treat as they are slightly high in fat. Unfortunately everyone's situation is different and a lot of times the dragons don't really cooperate with ideally. If used correctly they can serve an important part of the...

They can eat appropriate sized superworms at 17 inches. Just make sure they are chewing them good. You should try and offer some variety though. I do feel your pain though as I have a very picky eater who latches on to one kind of bug and will only eat that bug for weeks at a time. right now...

Ship Your Reptiles ships using FedEx Express. They will help you with best practices to ensure safety. I don't know what part of Florida you are in but Tammy at Draggin Tails is a long established Florida breeder with a ton of experience in shipping. I am sure she would be willing to advise...

Yeah my little one definitely prefers his roaches over BSFL. He will eat anything if he gets hungry enough though. He takes silkworms readily too and he will come at you for a butterworm or hornworm. If he gets the choice between roaches and BSFL he will chose roaches every time. They are...

12 would probably be plenty if all goes perfect. The first few times I tried I was not very successful and I had an emergence rate of about 50% and that has slowly increased as I deal with that part of the cycle more. If they all cocoon at nearly the same time and hatch within a few day span...

Once they are close to full grown they can go up to 3 days with no food without a problem. Kyle

Also, if you do successfully get them to breed and get eggs, you can take them full cycle at a temperature in the low to mid 70's. It just takes longer. The eggs hatch faster at 80F and they grow quicker. They will still hatch at 70F and grow full cycle. Just didn't want you to think you...

Nice! They look healthy to me from that picture. Just make sure to keep their container very clean, that is the key. Remove the frass at least every other day. Feed them daily. An easy way to clean them is place a screen of some sort with holes large enough from them to crawl through over...

You could try discoid roaches. I believe they are legal and obtainable in Florida. I have not dealt with them as I live in Texas and use Dubias, but I hear they are a good alternative in Florida. Contact Linda http://www.lindasgonebuggie.com/ she can help you with discoid roaches. Other good...

Yeah he did great for sure. The probiotic really worked wonder for his appetite. Thank you for your help! Kyle

Good idea. Also if you keep them at 55-60F they will last 1 month or more without pupating. I have had success keeping them in the butter deal on the door of my fridge. Before you give them to her just put them in a bowl and set them under her heat light for like 1 minute and they will start...

Yeah and they always send xtra too. Whenever I ordered they would send 600+ for an order of 500 and 1200+ for an order of 1000. Kyle

Also a good place to get BSFL is Symton BSF. A lot cheaper than buying the branded Phoenix worms or the other branded ones. Dubiaroaches.com also has a good prices on nutrigrubs which is just BSFL. Can get expensive if you buy Phoenix worms or the other branded BSFL. Kyle

Once she is big enough like 16-17 inches plus you could add in a few appropriate sized supers here and there for variety. They are very easy to keep and no smell, no sound, small container. Easy to get and cheap as well. Kyle

BSF and crickets will work. Just mix it up and let her eat as many as she wants for about 15 min a day for now. Once she hits full adulthood she can get bugs every 2-3 days. A good healthy salad becomes a very important part of their diet as they get older anyway. But at almost 10 months 1 bug...
