So I went to check on my super worm beetle colony and there where tiny white mites all over the lid. They are all throughout the wheat bran, on the inside and outside of the container. And then I notice they are all over my super worm container, and both of my meal worm colonies. What are...

Has anyone ever used the frass cleaned from your bins for fertilizer in your gardens? I have been saving all of the frass cleaned out of my bins to use in my vegetable garden this coming spring. Just wondering if anybody else has tried this and how it worked out for them.

Have any of the admins thought about making the forum mobile ready with Tapatalk? It is free to sign up at http://www.tapatalk.com/! It would be really cool. I use this app on my iPhone to read and reply to other forums I am members at.

So I picked up an other colony of Dubia off of Criagslist and there where these larva in there. I found 3 of them after I knocked most of the nymphs into my established colony. So I have no idea if there are any in that colony now. The only thing left in the new colony is a hand full of...

So I decided to start a long term Dubia research project. I am going to start with separating females when they look swollen and about to pop. This first part is going to be to see what the actual average production rate is of the females. After the females lay I will keep the female and her...

Have any of the administrators thought of setting up this forum to use the tapatalka app for Android and iPhone? I use it on other forums and really like it.

Anyone going to be there? My girl and I will be. Brian.

So I started off my colony in late December with 225 mixed sizes and 3 adult pairs(from The Roach Guy). I now have 123 adult females with 30 adult males (many males are fed off all the time) and more nymphs then I know what to do with! And it's always growing, every day or two I have more...

So I was just going trough my Dubia colony and trying to find some females just about to pop to separate them from the population, when one of them produced a large ball of fluid from it's mouth and onto my thumb. Never had this happen before. Was that a defense mechanism of some sort? Brian.

Any one around St. Louis Missouri, I may need some one to babysit my 2 5 month old dragons for a week or so. I might be going to Chicago for work for 1 to 3 weeks next week. Anybody able to help let me know and we can work out how much you would want to watch them. Thanks.

I just got into my fledgling Dubia colony to add water and food and saw 3 females in the process of transferring egg sacks into their pouches! That must mean I'm doing something right.

Would keeping the adult roaches in a different bin than the rest of the colony have any effect on their breeding speed? I ask because I have 43 female and 13 males in their own bin with heater and have not seen any babies, well not alive at least, in 22 days now. Could it be they are all very...

Getting ready to go pick up a 75 gallon aquarium with two heat lamps, screen top and base cabinet for 75 dollars!

Is there any difference between mealworms and giant mealworms other than their size.

Anyone here ever feed their dragons Jade plant? It's not on the Beautifuldragons.com list at all.

Once the Dubia molt into adults do they ever molt again in their life cycles? Thanks, Brian.

Well browsing Criagslist.org the other day I found an add for two sub-adult Leopard geckos and their Zilla Gecko starter kit for best offer. I offered 75 dollars and he sold it to me! What a score, the geckos even turned out to be a jungle morph female and a regular male. Brian.

What is the gestation time after the egg sack has been laid. Thanks, Brian.

Anyone here going to the St. Louis reptile convention on the 27th? My girl and I will be there. I will be the guy with a blue Mohawk and handlebar mustache! Brian.

Got my first baby Dubia and 3 more adult females for Christmas! I noticed the babies on Christmas eve and just found the 3 more adult females this mourning and moved them into the breeding bin! Hopefully more to come soon. Is there a way to tell if a female is pregnant? Some of my females are...
