Hi everyone! So, back in August/September, I sold off most of my nymphs. I had ~400 adult females remaining (I counted, by hand, up to 400... there were more, but I gave up after that). They've been breeding since then. The babies that were born in September/October are adults now, so I have...

Hi all! My sister likes weird pets, so when I got roaches she decided they were "cute" and she wanted some as pets. I picked out a few mid-sized ones (which I had identified as females) and gave them to her, and they've since grown up and are nice healthy adult female pet roaches. Later I gave...

I heard somewhere that out of every 100 cockroaches, one of those will always be shedding/freshly shed and thus, white. This wasn't about feeder roaches, just roaches in general, but I wonder if it's accurate. Has anyone else ever heard this? I tried a google search but couldn't find anything...

Hi all, So, my dragon has been voraciously devouring his salads lately. Then one day they were out of collards and turnip greens at the store and the only thing I could find was Kale. He doesn't like kale but I figured it was better than nothing, so I bought it. He ignored his salad for a...

Yeah, they'll leave behind a really flat, dry skin/shell thing that just looks like a whole roach, but it's flat and empty. You won't see a lot of them... From what I've noticed, the roaches like to hang on to the top of the egg crates, push out of their skin, and then the skin tends to fall...

I've had Vash for about a year and a half now, so I have three Reptisun 10.0 tube bulbs lying around that were used for six months and then replaced. I don't think you can just throw them away, can you? I've just been putting them in a corner for now (out of sight, out of mind), but I'm not...

So I know one of the selling points of dubia is "no escapes." That should be amended to "much fewer escapes than crickets, but it does happen." Especially with adult males. I've never had females or nymphs escape, but it doesn't seem to matter how much I escape-proof my tubs, I still have...

Sometimes I just put superworms in a dish in Vash's cage and then go to work. And occasionally Vash will tip the dish over and worms will escape. Apparently he did this at some point and he didn't manage to catch them before they hid, because a week or so ago I thoroughly cleaned out his cage...

My dragon has been having weird poops for a while now. Not every time he poops, but sometimes. Today it looked like whole undigested collard pieces wrapped in brown goo. Sometimes it looks normal except like there's some kind of mucus on it. I soak him in warm water every other day for 15-20...

I'm planning to get rid of a lot of/all of my dubia (my dragon will only eat freshly shed ones, and only if I trick him into eating them, and even then he'll only eat one a day). I want to be able to easily sort the small/med/large out from each other. What's the easiest way to do this? I've...

Hi everyone! Over the winter, my beardie decided he wants nothing to do with dubia anymore. Spectacular, since I've been letting them breed uninhibited for about six months, right? Anyway, I'm planning to sell them (most likely through a for-sale thread here), but I need to know exactly what...

I just sorted all my babies out from my adults for the first time since late November... I didn't think to get a picture of all the babies, but I took a few pictures, and one of all the adults. Just wondering if anyone could estimate how many I might have (and tell me what to do with them since...

Why do superworms eat each other? I got 500 large ones and I'm feeding them carrots, which is what I've always fed superworms, but today I sat down and picked out probably 10-15 dead ones and an additional 10-15 half-cannibalized worms. I put in half a potato instead of carrots, maybe that will...

My beardie has started to eat nothing but supers. He refuses roaches, he doesn't want his salad... I bought a small container of waxworms at a recent reptile show. He ate two the first time I offered any to him, but now he refuses to eat them. I know they're just for a treat, but I was hoping...

I've had my dragon since April, and he's always been a voracious eater. Salads, crickets, roaches, worms, whatever I offer, he'll eat it. However, since about mid-November, he has refused to eat anything but superworms. At first he was eating his salad as well but lately he doesn't even want...

Vash has always eaten anything and everything I give him. A couple weeks ago I bought some hornworms and for about a week I fed him hornworms, superworms, and roaches all in one meal. Now the hornworms are gone and he suddenly refuses to eat roaches or crickets. He'll still eat the superworms...

Okay, first off I had no idea these things grew so freakin fast. They tripled in size and have eaten all their food in six days. I still have five worms left and they have basically no food. Anyway, now that I know this and I know how much my dragon loves them (I don't think I've ever seen him...

My first question is regarding superworms: Why would they cannibalize another worm? I posted a week or so ago about an idea I had to separate out some worms at the beginning of the week into cups to make it easier to feed them off... Well, I did that this week--today was the last day/cup. Every...

So we all know that beardies sleep in some of the most ridiculous ways. I just want to hear about all the interesting places your beardie will sleep, and post pictures if you have them! Mine likes to sleep/sit on my back, the back of my neck, halfway on top of my head. Like so: If I hold him...

Every time I give Vash a bath, he flattens out and lowers his head and looks very drowsy. One time I actually caught him sleeping in the bath. Is this normal? He usually gets pretty dark when he's in there too.
