I won an ebay auction the other day and now have two small breeding colonies of Dubia Roaches to feed Hige. Each Colony has 11 females and 1 male (i intend to possibly put 1 more male in each tub if i need to and add to the amount of females maybe later on). The colonies i got are already breeding and it has been 1 day since they arrived. I read that these are live bearers but a female is doing something that looks like laying an egg sack. If she is do i need to remove these once she's dropped it or do i leave them be?
Some photo's i caught:

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.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
