Thank you :) I'll be sure to let you know.

I agree. That was one downside I found but another good things is I've read that can't climb or fly. They do well on a dirt type of substrate. I may order one and see how they are just to get used to them as roaches creep me out lol.

I was looking around at alternatives to dubia since where I live, I cannot keep them in my housing complex. I came across horseshoe crab roaches and they don't seem to be nearly as creepy as dubia (I'm terrified of them). I'm currently looking in to orange head roaches as well but the horseshoe...

Hello everyone! Just registered here although I was a member here a few years back but I forgot my old login info. I'm thinking about starting a few projects this year and one of them is getting a new herp. I've been eyeing a tegu for a few years now but always come back to beardies. I have...
