    Eggs?! Uh oh.... "He" is really a "she!" What now?

    I just found eggs in Growler's cage! :shock: It freaked me out because I bought a male dragon, at least according to the breeder. So I was completely unprepared for this. She's the only one I have so they're obviously infertile. So what do I do now? I'm guessing I just toss the eggs into...

    Getting more male dubia than female...

    :blob5: Bump..... Maybe nobody else has had this issue? I just found 6 more new males in my medium/large tub and not one single female!

    Getting more male dubia than female...

    So about 2 weeks ago I was fed up with my one giant tub for all my dubia. My Growler is still snoozing the winter away so he's not eating at all. Meanwhile these roaches just keep breeding! I've turned off the closet space heater that I had been using. Right now they're in a closet in my...

    Is your dragon sleeping too much, not eating enough? READ ME

    Whew! Thank you for this article. Like most everyone else, I've been really worried for the last week or so. Growler is only 6 months old, but he's behaving exactly as described here. At first I thought he was just acting grumpy because he was going to shed again. It's definitely not like...

    Beetle in my roach chow?

    I discovered that there are a bunch of little beetles living in my dubia roach chow. Anyone know what they are? They're about 1/4" and red-brown in color. Can I keep using the food or should I dump it all and start over? I know this isn't the best picture, but it was as good as I could get...

    Ran out of babies...

    I'd suggest getting a separate, smaller, feeder bin. Now my big ones are left to do their thing without the stress of me getting in there 2-3 times a day and messing things up. Now I just check on them every other day or so to replenish food/crystals. I've been doing this about a month....and...

    My Dubias arrived - yeah!

    It took me a while to get the water crystal thing right. What I do now is put a couple pinches into a ziplock sandwich baggie. Then I ad about 3/4C of water, seal it up, and let it sit out. I check on it after half an hour or so and add more water if they can take it, or more crystals if it's...

    Since none of my family, friends, or co-workers care....

    Hahaha. Exactly! I was so excited I almost put up something on my Facebook, but quickly realized that no one would care. At least my husband and 3.5yr old son are at least partially interested! Oh, and my dad just thinks it's totally bizarre! He works for a pest control company so he jokes...

    Since none of my family, friends, or co-workers care....

    I figured I'd share with some people who understand! I got my 3rd, and hopefully final, shipment of dubia yesterday. I got 500 or so nymphs, a couple hundred large nymphs, 20 adult females, and 10 adult males! (Although I don't know if I really got 10 males... I only saw about 4 or 5). And...

    Problems with being around to feed him, miss 2 feeds a week

    Would your parents be willing to dump a pre-measured amount of dubia into a food dish? You could leave an empty, shallow dish in his viv. Then measure out the proximate quantity of dubia he'd need for those two meals and put them in a sealed tupperware. Then your parents could just dump his...

    Sleeping

    Funny! I was just searching this foum for this topic! Growler has only been with us for 6 nights now. The first night he climbed onto a tiki statue in his viv and slept completely vertical. Th second night he climbed into the silk plants and hung on all night. Now, every night he falls...

    How long should it take to get the viv up to temp?

    How long should it take to get the viv up to proper temps? I have a 29Gallon tank (30x12x18). 18" ReptiSun 10.0 Dome light with 50watt halogen flood light. I'm using digital probe thermometers. It's been 2 hours since the lights came on. The cool side is only up to 73 and the basking spot is...

    My intro and work-in-process vivarium.

    Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I'm thinking I might as well go get a new basking light now. I wasn't sure what power to start at but it does seem low. After I had been running it for a few hours the basking spot got up to 85 or so, but that was without anything else on top of the screen to...

    My intro and work-in-process vivarium.

    Hi everyone! I should be getting my first beardie next week! I can't wait!!! Here's a picture of the tank so far. It's a 29 Gallon tank (30 x 12 x 18). I know that won't last terribly long but my husband is a cabinet maker and has done reptile cages in the past so he's designing me a...
