I wouldn't feed a 16 inch dragon a adult dubia unless it was freshly molted.

I've never gave a adult dubia to a dragon under 20 inches. I suppose if you have a small adult dragon that is only 16 inches then a adult dubia might be too much for it to handle. My guy is 5 months and 16 inches, he has a hard time handling half grown dubia.

Tossing in my two cents on the issue, never fed your dragon something wider that the space between their eyes because thats about how wide their throat is. A dragon has a hard time spitting something out so its better that you make the choice on what they get to eat. If i was you i would save every adult roach you get, they live a long time if they are taken care of every 2 weeks or1 week if you have alot. If you keep them warm, around 80-85 or a bit warmer they will breed. In my experiance, haveing 4 dragons, i only have to buy them food every 2-3 months. they love their roaches and greens which i grow myself. Hope i helped. good luck.
