Hey Guys, I used to get on here all the time when researching how to raise a beardie. Now that I am up and running I don't get on here as much as I used to or would like to. What a great site. I figured I would just show some updates. He is doing great. Here he is going for a ride with...

Does everyone roaches completely devour watermelon when you throw it in w/ them? Mine love it and put a hurting on it and the Rhine (sp.)

Would I be crazy for wanting to start a thread just for Roach Bin Pics? I always like seeing everyones setups as well as the inside of them to get better ideas for food and water gel dishes and overall setups, etc. Someone shoot me down if you think I am crazy but hopefully others will think...

Hello all. I have a question as to what is the lowest temp acceptable just to keep my feeder roaches alive? This is just a feeder bin. Right now I have a heat pad on my breeder bin and a heat pad on my feeder bin with the smaller roaches in it. I am starting a 3rd bin which will be another bin...

I have a water softner in my house and was wondering if I can give him his bath in the kitchen sink? Figured I should check first since the water does have some salt in it from the water softener unit. Do you see any reasons why I should not use the sink and softened water? Thanks.

Hey Guys. About the last 2 months I have been taking out my BD and putting him in a separate container for his feedings of Dubias. Yesterday I purchased a dual sided cat food/water dish and I put dubia in one side and have fed him in his tank. The dubia cannot climb out and its really alot...

I've heard a few different opinions and am sure it depends on how bad the bin gets to smelling but how often do you guys clean out your dubia bins?

Hey Guys! Do you normally just feed your roaches every so often or just constantly have roach chow in the bin with them to where it never gets empty or completely gone? As of right now in both bins I keep the chow in at all times. I didn't know if there was a right or wrong in this or not. I...

I just purchased what seems to be around 1000 small nymphs, 300 mixed med nymphs, 2-300 large females and 50-100 large males all for $100. This is all guesstimates as there is no way to count accurately but regardless it was a crap load. Just thought I would share the excitement.

I know they will eat about anything and you want to give them good quality foods because you are gutloading them for the beardies. I just want to know if there are any fruits/veggies I should avoid and for roach chow as well. Thanks fellas.

So I ran out of small dubias today so I stopped at the past store and got 100 crix and this rep cal pellet stuff. Do you guys use the pellets very often? I don't see any harm in Using them because I will still offer him his feeders and leafy greens daily on top of the pellets. He is about...

When I bought him 2 weeks ago he was 6 inches long. Is it safe to assume since it is 6 in. long it may be 2 or 3 months old?

I just picked up my BD on Monday and he isn't eating very much. I am feeding greens all day and crix 2x per day. One day he ate 6 crix I think in a feeding but other than that day it has only been maybe 1 or 2 per feeding and a couple times none. He is 6 inches long. I received my roaches...

Hey guys. I just picked him up on Monday. Let me know what you think.

I bought my BD 2 days ago and he is maybe 6 inches nose to tail. First is do you measure nose to tip of tail when talking about total length. And next, so far he is only eating maybe 5 or 6 crickets at each feeding which is 2x per day. I feed him in a seperate tub because I have so many places...

Hello. I am looking to start a colony and almost all sites are out of stock of mixed Dubias to start a colony with. I have only found one site. Does anyone know where I can get some mixed Dubias online to start a colony?

Do the white starters on the under side of the light fixtures have to have more wattage than the bulbs? I have a ReptiSun 10 and it just flickers on and off and never fully turns on. I wandered if maybe the starter wasnt large enough or not?

I took out my old T8 Tube light that I used on the fish aquarium which was still working and put in the ReptiSun 10 and now it just blinks and flashes without ever fully turning on. Is this something as simple as having to small of a ballast (spelling?) or a bad one? Looking for help here as...

I will be getting my BD in the next few days so I need to figure out my timing of the lights. I have to leave the house by 7 a.m to get to work on time and get home around 5 or 6 p.m. I would like to have it to where his lights go out at 10 so they are on until I go to bed. I figured I would put...

Hey guys. I will be ordering my dubias next week to start my first colony and will be picking up my BD later next week as well. I believe I have everything ready but I just needto know what you guys think would be a good number to start a colony would be? I will buy crickets until my colony is...
