That 6x6 screen should be fine. But it's hard to determine the perfect method for maintaining appropriate humidity levels because every situation is unique for each persons setup. For instance if you live in a humid place you may be able to use 8x8 or larger screening without sacrificing any...

Aside from my full size 12" x 12" egg flats I usually keep 2 or 3 flats cut in portions of 4 egg hold sections. I find that anywhere from 5-10 large roaches usually take up residence in that 4-cut flat. I pick it up with a tong and shake the roaches off into a bucket. Then I sprinkle calcium...

As long as you don't have the egg flats reaching the very top of the bin, and you have a layer of clear packaging tape around the inner-circumference of the bin 2"-3" inches from the top, you won't have to fear any escapes. Just make sure the bin you have is smooth plastic made by Sterilite or...

I wouldn't worry too much. You only ordered 200 dubia which is not many. Especially if that # is comprised of mostly nymphs. Even 200 adult dubia won't run through food too fast. Dubia are one of the more nibbling species of roach when compared to other medium/large roaches. For instance my...

Leave them. Each sack is called an ootheca. The female lays the ootheca then it will pick up the ooth and reinsert it into it's cavity to develop. ~30 days later 20-30 nymphs will be delivered live.

You'll get used to your dubia. After 1 month they will really not gross you out at all. As for any perceived excess of roaches, to be honest you really shouldn't even be thinking of feeding out of your dubia colony at this juncture. You should leave it alone for at least 3 months — on the short...

I keep the following 3 species in preferred order: 1. Orange Head Roaches 2. Discoid Roaches 3. Dubia Roaches All three are very nutritious, non-climbers, non-flyers and easy to care for. Contrary to popular belief, I have not encounted any defensive odor from my orange heads or discoids at...

Depends on your particular dragon and it's needs at the moment. Here are the top nutritious four and they each have their pros/cons. PHOENIX WORMS * Pros - an excellent staple - high calcium : phosphorus ratio - don't need to be fed, gutloaded, or dusted - can be stored at room...

Depends on where you live. If you lived in a hot, humid, climate state (Florida, Louisiana, etc.) then they may be able to survive outside of their bin provided there is adequate heat, moisture/humidity, a water source for drinking and food. That is the only way an infestation could occur. A...

Horrible advice from your vet. Earthworms carry parasites and make beardies have frequent wet, runny, smelly poo. If you want to feed your beardie the best well-rounded diet for optimal health you will need to order online. Variety is key. I feed my reptiles the following prey items: INSECTS...

You can order a silkworm cup of 25+ worms from Mulberry Farms for a little north of $10 bucks. They aren't the easiest to maintain mostly due to the fact that you cannot let their cup get too much moisture/humidity or you will have some die off. They also die if you touch them or handle them...

If you left fruit (apples, oranges, etc.) in your Kricket Keeper as a gutload, they are likely fruit fly larva.

Yorkie, that is HOT!

Alright he's in!

~17 inches @ 1 year old, as per his June 24th birthday. EDIT: Just measured him and he's actually 18"

Thanks tgolden!

Just finished setting up the enclosure today. My newly acquired German Giant has yet to set foot in it. Hope he's a happy camper when he enters his new home later tonight.

Every time I've opened a cup they're either all dead or already turned into soldier flies
