    I have NO idea! I started w 250+ in the fall and they just keep multiplying. They are happy little Dubias. Eating me out of house and home. They r kept in a closet on a heating pad and not disturbed except for feedings. They eat cricket chow, dog food, fish food, oranges and any other fruits I...

    Anyone in SE Michigan want roaches?

    Since I have no experience in doing that, I'd rather not. If I can not find someone to come get them, then I would consider it.

    Anyone in SE Michigan want roaches?

    My beardie will not eat the roaches. They are reproducing like crazy and I don't know what to do with them. If you can pick them up, you can have most of them. I'll keep enough to breed again and see if he will eventually eat them. Bummed...

    Enclosure for Dubia

    I'd say a couple hundred sud-adults/adults and the rest mixed from baby to young.

    Mark on belly?? Burn??

    Nothing I can think of. Like I said he was brumating for a few weeks before this and he was in his favorite blanket, which was clean and dry. Thanks for the reply.

    Mark on belly?? Burn??

    Yes the UVB (reptisun 10.0 tube, replaced in Feb) is 48" so it runs the entire length of the viv diagonally and the basking light is next to it. Then I have a reg household bulb on the other side for brightness. I can also raise the basking light. I checked the temps with my temp gun and the...

    Hi from vegas

    HI and welcome. What size viv are you getting ready for him? They need a 40L at a min. Also check out this site for beardie foods. Mealworms are really not great. http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html What type of UVB do you have because the petstores usually do not...

    Mark on belly?? Burn??

    He has never been on medication. All of his stool samples came back negative for parasites. The humidity in the viv, measured by the digital thermometer from Walmart, says LO. No water is kept in the viv except for daily salads that are watered down. His entire shelf (9X18") is slate tiles...

    Mark on belly?? Burn??

    He is usually bathed once or twice a week but he just woke up on Sat from brumation. He was up for a few days about 3 weeks ago and the spot was not there, plus he saw the vet then and got a clean bill of health. He has never begun shedding this way, but... Everything is new these days. Should I...

    Mark on belly?? Burn??

    What is this spot? Zig woke up yesterday and was basking alot. I didnt handle him till bedtime and I found this mark on his belly. It is not raised and doesn't seem to bother him but it is alittle shiney-ish. His basking spot is slate tiles and it is normally about 110* but since he's been...

    When will he wake up??????

    Thanks for the reply. It's nice to know that I am not alone... This really sucks. I tried babyfood when he got up last time and he'd have a tiny bit then be done. Did you wake yours up for baths? All of my supers have died now but my roach colony that I got right when he started brumation...

    When will he wake up??????

    Zig started partial brumation in October. Then late Jan went to sleep for a week at a time. Two weeks at a time through Feb. He woke up the other day and I thought it was over, but no. He didnt get up the next morning. Guess he was just thirsty. When does this end????????

    Please help!!!!! RIP dear one

    I haven't been online since the weekend but I was so happy to read that Spike is still fighting. To answer your question about him not being under the uvb because he prefers to be with you, I think giving him what he needs right now is best. You are what he needs right now. Give him beardie...
