Dubias

[Aberdeen43]

How many adult female dubias should you have to 1 male dubia? I have heard different numbers on how many the males can fertilize. And do they need to have light in order to reproduce? I know they need heat.

My father has been kind and generous enough to start breeding dubias in addition to taking care of my dragon while I'm away at college, and I want to help him out as much as possible even though I'm far away.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I hear 3:1 thrown around. I started mine with a big mix pack of different sizes (no adults) and they've been fine. I keep mine in a dark basement with no light, just heat, and it hasn't been a problem. I think they prefer the dark because they hide when I turn the light on.
