Hello everyone! Just registered here although I was a member here a few years back but I forgot my old login info.
I'm thinking about starting a few projects this year and one of them is getting a new herp. I've been eyeing a tegu for a few years now but always come back to beardies. I have plans of building or buying a 4x2 enclosure if I do decide on one. The only thing with beardies is that I know I'd better off with starting a Dubia colony. The problem? I am extremely squeamish when it comes to insects. I know all about Dubia but just can't get over keeping them, let alone looking at them :shock:
With that said, I was wondering how did you become used to dubias if you were ever afraid of them? I just need tips because I know I'll be looking at them a lot if I do decide on a beardie.
