Everyone has seemed to cover everything pretty well in terms of getting you on the right foot. There's several care sheet links on this website which can help you a great deal for more organized help. As for the color, they are SO young it's not surprising there isn't much. Citrus coloring can...

Walmart has under the cabinet light fixtures for about $10. I believe people here have then used those picture hanging hooks or something. If you ask the hardware person and tell them what you are doing and need it securely fastened then they should be able to help you with the proper tool for...

You mount uvb inside because screen filters some of that beneficial uvb light. Think of it like you sitting inside next to your window. You are getting light and Sun is there but it will filter out some of that D unlike you standing outside.

It's a good one, minimum size for an adult so it will work for the whole life of your dragon and opens from the front. Only downside of course is it's glass but a lot of people here have glass so it's just fine. Only thing to remember about aquariums as opposed to vivs is make sure to mount your...

If you can get the Critter Condos they are awesome! They are wood enclosures so keep the heat in and come with vents and electrical components already hooked up.

Dubia are pretty happy being crowded. That being said, it is not easy to keep a smaller enclosure clean, kind of like a small aquarium compared to a larger one. Also, if there are too many males in a smaller space they will fight and end up stressing out your females into lowering their...

It is much harder to tell with the nymphs. I'm not sure if it's been tested and proven but supposedly if you look at the last segment of the dubia, the larger segment means it will be a female. So, grab a couple large nymphs and flip them over, look at the last segment of their butt and the...

Monitor the temperature. You can run both but it might cause the temperature to get too high or not create enough of a temperature gradient so that there isn't a sufficient cool side to the tank. Again, it's going to be easier and less costly to get a better day basking bulb instead of having...

*What do I feed them? Do I have to feed them breeder chow, or can they eat, say, bananas and the beardie's salad leftovers? I've heard cat food works? You can go as simple as jducky stated with cat food and oats ground together. I raid my local health food stores bulk bin and create a superfood...

If your day basking bulb isn't reaching the desired temperature I would look into fixing that by getting a higher wattage bulb rather than having two lights going. You need a day bulb of some sort, not just a red light.

This site http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html which is the one that is recommended to follow here. It states that butterworms should only be an occasional.

I keep all of my roaches together. The only reason I separate is so I can have a feeding/selling bin so that I'm not constantly reaching into the bin with the females and disturbing them every time I need some babies. The ratio range for people is 5:1-10:1 depending on the size of your colony...

I started off with a low 1:2 ratio with no problems then as my colony grew I then began weeding out any extras until I now have a colony of 3,000+ and keep it at a 6:1 ratio. It all depends. I found that early on there was no problem, more room to roam before running into another male, now if I...

Butterworms are meant as treats and shouldn't be fed as a staple. The worm staples are phoenix worms/repti-worms or silkworms. Silkworms can either be easy to breed or terribly difficult, seems to depend on the person. They are highly susceptible to bacteria so you need to wash your hands...

There are people who use infrared lights over an extra mesh opening/vent on the side of the egg crates of their bin. I wrapped mine in a large blanket to keep it temporarily insulated before I could afford a proper heatmat.

A temp of 90-95 and citrus veggies is what got mine to explode. It will take about 3-4 months to notice a huge growth though because each life stage takes them a while.

I have 4 kits of 5 females and 3 males, 150 mixed nymphs and some chow still available and I can ship too in a flat rate priority. It's up to you. And, yes!, there is the annual Sacramento show saturday the 29th and sunday the 30th. It's the largest in the north bay I believe. I will be...

I live in Fremont and for non shipping pick ups for people here can do .10 a nymph, same as crickets from the pet store.

Your post office will have 2-3 day priority boxes that you can grab for free. You just pay the shipping when you decide to actually ship. Get the sizes that you want, for dubia it's usually the small or medium. You can put them in a plastic container that's ventilated inside which is best so...

There was an article on it but essentially if the feeders are on too much calcium it can cause your beardies joints to be negatively effected. Also, when crickets want to drink they may be ingesting too much calcium for their own tolerance and can overdose and die sooner. If anyone else can...
