Hello I'm a first time owner of now an 8 month old 14 inch beardie. I had him on a diet of crickets but have recently switched him over to discoid roaches I buy from a feed store and we're both enjoying them a lot more
So I'd like to start my own colony and I'm looking for any tips
I do live I Florida but the northern part in the panhandle near a beach. So it's humid here but not as hot as other places in Florida.
I've already brought a starter kit and it's on the way to me from ready reptiles
https://readyreptilefeeders.com/Discoid-Roach-Colony-Starter-Breeding-Kits.php
I got the larger kit from them.
And there's a breeding and care guide on the site but I'm just hoping for any additional information
I also have two large Rubbermaid tubs one for the colony and another for cleaning.
I have extra egg crates
Water gell
And I was thinking of getting a people heating pad for them.
Is there anything I'm missing? Anything I should look out for or just any tips from personal expiernce? I've been reading in them for days but I want to make sure I got a good thought on what all to do.
