    Good place for 50+ Females?

    I have been buying from a place 15 min. from me.. Dubideli, but they are out of females. I have my colony started and finally warm enough in their set up and want more females. I have 25 and 5 males with 250 mixed in a 27 gallon tub. Where is a good place to buy from that you like?

    Think sand ok for just 1/4 or so of tank?

    I have a hundred gallon with slate tile but the smaller tiles never fit in the front space so I cut my old grass and have been using that. It's a pitb though with the roaches and worms going underneath and worms turning to flies all the time lately. Do u think I could get away with sand in the...

    Can't get my dubia over 84!

    Excellent! Thanks for the replies. I'll let them do their thing for 6omths and won't worry. I just didn't want to go a few months and have no nymphs.. Would be such a waste of time.

    For the dubia know it alls!

    In regards to temp.. I have my new colony in a 27 gallon tub with a 40-50 gallon heater on the bottom. It never gets above 84 in the middle, which is where my probe sits. Do you think this is ok for breeding? It's already 78 all day in my house and about 72 at night since Cali is already in the...

    Can't get my dubia over 84!

    I had them in glass aquariums and decided to switch to tubs like everyone recommends.. but I can't get the darn things over 84. I have a 30-50 gallon heat mat stuck to the bottom.. it's not super firm (lost a bit of sticky when I took it off the glass aquarium) to it but I have the tub on a...

    Game bird meal for dubia, good or bad.

    I have tons of alfalfa pellets I was going to use for digging but my dragon doesn't care for it. Do I grind it? Can I maybe mix 50/50 with the feed then and be better you think?

    Ok for breeding setup?

    I got a stick on heat mat today and hoping it keeps the glass warm stuck on the side. Thanks!

    Game bird meal for dubia, good or bad.

    Went to the feed store and realized I didn't know which chicken feed since there are like 12. Grabbed the highest protein at 25% which was game feed. But now researching it I'm thinking it's not good? Some online say it's too high of protein but I've read here and elsewhere that they use dog...

    Ok for breeding setup?

    I have a startup colony coming with 5 males and 25 females.. Plus I think around 150 or so mixed in xs,m and xxl. I have my feeders in a 10 gallon and wanted to use up the random glass aquariums I have here rather than buy more stuff. The inside tank is 30 gallons (outer is 50) and I will have...

    bulb heating dubia's

    I've just recently started with Dubia but done a lot of research as you have. I'm not sure if you're breeding or not but I know for breeding they say 85-95 with most leaning towards 90-92 from what I've read and watched. I have my feeder Dubia in a 10 gallon glass that's under my BD and has a...

    First dubia order (what to expect)

    Dubideli is in my city about 15 min. from me and just started ordering from them too. I had about 40 die off from my first order of around 250 5/8 size and talked with the guy there through Facebook and then email. He was pretty helpful about telling me that I needed to totally cover my tank...

    under tank heater too hot for dubia?

    My new batch of roaches came today and they seem to be ok so far. Just the floor in 1/2 the tank is 107 or so.. But the crates and other area is mid 70's. I'll see if they seem to last longer this time. They have grated carrots, squash and greens in there. Water gel too. I'm not breeding...

    under tank heater too hot for dubia?

    My first batch of dubis I lost quite a bit and am not sure if the daytime 75 degree and 70 or so night time temps are the cause. I bought a zoo med 10-20 gallon under tank heater for my 10 gallon glass but when I take a temp reading of the floor with my lazer gun it's showing around 107? The...

    Dubi's dying.. cool temp ok for shorter term?

    Dubi's dying.. cool temp ok for shorter term?

    I just got my first supply from a local place, Dubideli, but I have about 25 dead from just 4 days or so. Is it normal for them to dye off like this? My crickets did rather well and never died but I know they are different insects/bugs. I have them in a 10 gallon glass aquarium with no top...

    Hiding all day, not basking

    Temp checks are with my soaping lazer gun. His cave basking spot is too hot, I checked it again, but he still has his favorite other location and then rest of the tank. The cave is a new item (but he never used his smaller one either) and I think it's just too high and not as low as his other...

    Hiding all day, not basking

    They aren't in the same spot for basking.. Both are off center on opposite sides. My cool side in 100 gallons was too cold so I put his precious 100 watt over there and he ended up liking basking there also. Temp needed up perfect at 105. Other side he also likes to bask and I need the 150 to...

    Hiding all day, not basking

    he's coming out a bit more and seems to only be doing spurts in there now. His tank is 100 gallon with a 100W basking and temp is 105, and a 150W basking temp is about 108-110 but I put a screen and it goes down to 105ish. Cool side is 78-80 but doesn't go there often except to go under the...

    Hiding all day, not basking

    Mine is now about 5.5 months old.. just switched two days ago to Dubia roaches and a reptiworms (new supplier but he's always had 'phoenix' worms). Stopped crickets yesterday. The last 2 days he's been hiding out all day in his rock cave and not basking. I don't think he's ever gone in there...

    Phoenix worms dead? And Dubia storage question

    Haha! Yes I felt pretty happy! Next day delivery is great. Dubideli which is pretty popular is in my city 15 min from me. But no local pickup. California Central Valley is good for growing bugs.. Nice and warm!
