Keep your dubia tubs vented

Somehow two tubs were sat one upon the other. i check my dubia every 2-3 days for food and water and I found the tub. First thought was no biggie until I opened the lid. It was a literal melt down inside the container. Gnats, maggots, soaked and destroyed egg cartons, ammonia smell that nearly knocked me over. The entire colony is dead with exception of maybe give or take 50 of various sizes. I am guessing I stacked them and walked off to answer the phone. The room is 90+ degrees, 40% humidity to give an idea that the fact that dubia create their own humidity in their tubs that excessively.


but careful, this mistake cost me $100+ easily.

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?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
