    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!

    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.

    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...

    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?

    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

    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...

    Holey Dubias! He won't stop eating!

    Got 250 dubias in today and Rocko is definitely a fan! He pretty much eats any bug but really loves these like his Phoenix worms. Lol Its pretty for sure that these dont cause impaction if they are the right size? He's ate about 15 for lunch (at 2) with 20 large reptiworms an then just now at...

    Reptisun 10.0 or HO. Should I switch?

    I never even knew there were two different kinds (my store doesn't sell the HO) until seeing talk about the HO on here. I just got the 10 in a 24 in for my 60 in. long tank and have it centered in the middle with an additional repti 5.0 mini 12 in. above one of his basking areas. I'm thinking...

    Calcium with d3, conflicting info.

    I'm at a loss on what to do with my calcium for my beardie.. additional d3 formula or without the d3? He's only been on the without kind so far. On here I recall people posting they use the d3 kind and elsewhere i have seen some say to use it.. but there are many others who say not too. It can...

    humidity at 45% overnight..

    Is it ok if the tank is at 20-25% during the day then goes to around 45% in the overnight hours? When I wake I notice it's always between 45 and 50 but goes down once the heat lights come on.. takes about 2 hours but does go down. I'm guessing it takes a while to go up to 45% and he's maybe at...

    Phoenix worms dead? And Dubia storage question

    My dragon will eat any phoenix worm I put in there.. moving or not. My question is.. the dark ones I know mean they are possibly preparing to change to a fly, but do they always stop moving then too? I can't seem to tell if one is dead or alive when dark, and if dead is it bad for my dragon...

    5 month old stopped eating all greens/veggies

    We got him 2 months ago and he was eating a little greens which I knew was fine at his age, but last week or so.. I noticed he isn't touching his greens at all. I place them a certain way so I can see if he's touched them. I've tried hand feeding which he eats worms that way, but no go. I tried...

    Dark stressmarks and darker beard

    I didn't even know about this until today when I was researching something else and came across this. My 5 month old often gets them on the tummy and I actually thought the coloring was normal. :/ His beard has been dark pretty often the last few days when we have been trying to handle him more...

    New 100 gallon is up! 2 UVB ok?

    So we have the new 100 gallon up for Rocko and he's doing great so far! Eating fine but a little on the cool side and high humidity. We went ahead and removed 1/2 the alfalfa pellets which helped and plan to use papertowels for now up right there. The other is for digging. Heating I have a new...

    Learning to enjoy baths.. Or tolerate..

    Rocko is about 5 months and 10.5 in. He looks so tiny in the picture. Anyways, he hates baths. Water is 95 measures with my laser soaping thermometer. He always breathes very very deep when he's in there and tries to scramble up my arm the minute I'm close enough. I only do like 4-5 min since I...

    ack.. plexiglass partial on top.. humidity issue?

    I didn't realize when buying this online that it was plexiglass and definitely didn't know it had partial plexi on top. I've been reading up the last 2 hours or so and am worried that I have yet another tank I can't use. :( My 50 gallon glass I can't find a sliding screen replacement so its...

    Can noise make dragons skittish? Staring in glass?

    Wondering if louder kid noises can cause dragons to be skittish? What about staring at it through the glass? Our dragon Rocko belongs to my 11 year old and while he's handled daily.. He still fights being held. If left in an open palm he tries to run away and thrash but does stay pretty calm...

    Added light UVB pic for 100 gallon..

    We found a 100 gallon tank and stand we are picking up tomorrow hopefully. I have an approx 5 month old beardie who is 10-11 in. and we are planning to get another smaller beardie after the tank is set up. We do realize that if they both end up the same sex we have to separate when they are...
