    cleaner beetles question

    So I'm pretty sure I have cleaner beetle larvae that hitched a ride with my superworm shipment. Does anyone use these in their Dubia bins? I just downsized my dubias so I won't really need them. I just found a colony is too much for one beardie that is mostly done growing. I also don't live in...

    Scale for weighing

    Hi everyone, I want to get a scale for weighing my beardie. Any brands or models you guys can recommend? I have a scale but it is for too small of quantities. Thanks!

    How many Dubia to keep

    So I have a small Dubia breeder colony in a 10 gallon tote. They are doing well. I'm just curious how many adults I should keep in there. We just sorted and cleaned the feeder and colony bins. We have about 100 males and 300 females. I have read that it's better to have a 1:4 ratio so I should...

    Zan in her new shiny harness

    I got her harness today and she was great in it. I wondered if she would freeze up like my cat did but she ran around no problem. :) For anyone curious I bought it from this etsy seller: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LizardLovers?ref=s2-header-shopname

    Picky eater

    My Zan was being a punk and decided she didn't like Dubia roaches after I already set up a colony. She isn't a fan of crickets either. I was getting nervous because she seems to be a slow grower. She is about 7 months and just under 10 inches. Setup because I know it will be asked :) She is in...

    Feeder Purchase Websites

    I don't know if this is a thread already. If it is please point me in that direction and we can delete this one. Of course I set up a dubia colony and now my beardie won't eat them. Jerk. I'm going to keep it going for a bit and sell them off. I'm hoping she changes her mind. If not I'll sell...

    Beardie not eating much

    Hi everyone, I got Malazan on 1/4/15. She is about 9 1/2 inches long. They said she was about 3 months old when we got her. I don't know how much she weighs because the scale I have doesn't go very high. We hope to get one eventually. She just doesn't seem to be eating much. When we first got...

    Dubia Breeding Questions

    So I only have one beardie. That is the only animal in my house that will eat insects. I'm the weird reptile/pet owner that manages to keep her pets to a minimum. ;) I don't have a whole lot of space so I can't go crazy breeding roaches. I wish I had basement access. I've seen setups online that...

    Meet Malazan!

    I've been lurking and posting a bit here as I worked on my beardie enclosure. Today the boyfriend and I went to the reptile expo in White Plains, NY and came home with a 3 month old cutie. The enclosure is mostly done. We need to trim the tiles in the back and cut a branch so it fits in the...

    Dubia roaches for adult dragons

    I'm trying to figure out what I need for the dragon I'm getting in January. I've been planning on getting Dubia roaches. I had a leopard gecko and I hated dealing with crickets. They stink and then I would have to get my cat to chase down the escapees. With adults I've read about 3 feedings a...

    Question about brumation

    So is brumation something they go through no matter what? Or do you drop the temps to encourage it? Is it something that you will only do if you are planning to breed them? I don't ever plan on breeding. I will just have mine as a pet. I never have been comfortable with dealing with breeding...
