I bought some reptisun 10.0 bulbs online and am at a loss for what type of fitting to get for them. HD had T5, T8 and a few others. I froze and ran out. Ive always done single mounts but will need bulbs for a first. Again, here is the product...

Im going haywire managing lots of free tanks and drafting up a large structure. The problem is I have different sized BDs and not sure what minimum stress free dimensions are. Adults Ive found 18'' depth is pretty much required otherwise it will rattle them. I would imagine 2' wide would be...

So Jelly has laid 5 clutches in 5 months. She is only a year old and Im at a loss, I thought 3 maybe 4 clutches was what to expect. Ill make sure she recovers quickly, but is it normal at all for 5 straight clutches? -BTW eggs are not fertilized

The joys of living in Dallas, I turned a section of my garage into a warm spot for my colony. Now Im remembering how hot this will be in a few weeks, and im worried I might come come to a dead colony. Even with circulation, 105 happens in dallas, 110 happens, and 115 CAN happen. With plenty...

Jelly is about 14 months old and getting ready to lay her third clutch. After the first one, she was shriveled down to about nothing. I fed her back up to a good 300g but then she layed yet a bigger clutch (13->17). After that clutch she was in even more skin and bones. I did my best to beef...

Still working on set it and forget it setups, but made a mistake. I was told mealies would help keep carrion down, but their population has exploded and eating up all the roach food. After starting to make my own high quality chow, i dont want the bulk of it to be feeding these little...

Not @ home, so I cant supply pictures. Here is what I did: Made a series of u shaped insulation stacked together with glue and put a square piece on the top. It is probably 20 inches by 19 inches by 5 inches tall. Then used a paint sponge to spread unsanded grout across the entire surface...

I would like to breed in a few years, and am thinking of building a thermo regulated structure for a dubia stash, but uncertain of how big I need to make it. Currently I am looking at probably enough to house 4 bins of about 5k each. After the colony ramps up, would this be enough for 2 adults...

I am trying to see if I can get my bins to only need to be cleaned 1x/year or 1 every 2 years as apposed to every 6 months. (Yes, I know Im lazy, but I want to scale everything I am doing without scaling the overhead as quickly). I was at a reptile expo and was looking at expanding my feeder...

Hey all, Jelly has been eating 10-15 crix a day for the past week or two, and has had BMs every to every other day. The last 3 days she has been eating 40+ crix a day and looks at me like she is ready for the main course. She is 4.5 months old and is halfway through a shed. To my...

Hi All, I was researching today why my dubias arent multiplying and realized that a house temp of 75-80 is not warm enough. I am thinking of moving them to my garage, but that will give temps of 90-100 which can spike every now and then. Will these temps be high enough to kill them? Or will...

Im having issues getting my crickets to lay eggs on peat moss. I moisten it every night, but for some reason I think they are dropping all the eggs in the crates. I see the crix digging in it, but still lay eggs in the crates. can anybody tell me what I might be doing wrong? temp - 70s-90s...

Hi Yall, I'm trying to see what I can find for another cool colored beardy, but cant figure out where all I could be looking. I also am curious about adult blue/ aqua/purple. I know BBD has had a few MUST HAVE colors, but I havent seen them with one for a while. Do they frequently have them...

I just got a shipment of dubias which look like they are all dead. After some googling I see that they do indeed sometimes play dead. How long should you wait before calling them dead? And after a pro-longed shipping (thanks usps) in the heat, are there any steps I can do to try and revive...

I have a 3 and a half month old beardie who I am not certain why she has days when she wont eat, and cant get her to eat veggies all the time. Normally I give her dusted crickets 1 or two times a day. I know I should try to do more, but I'm limited by work and want to make sure I give her 2...

Hi all, I keep seeing that many breeders know specific sexes to their BDs as little as 3 inches long. I cant seem to find any guideline for sexing beyond the base tail markers, which become available @ 6-12 inches. Do breeders to DNA testing or something? If so is there a relatively cheap DIY...

Hi everybody, I have not yet purchased my first beardy, but am in the planning process to get one. Ive been doing a fair amount of research, and stumbled upon this forum. It also raised a few more questions and made me reconsider a few parts. I wanted to see if I could give a run down of the...
