so i've tried crickets, and don't care for the smell. plus the rare escapes scare the crap out of me (i don't do well with things that hop). i was wondering about keeping dubia roaches. from what i've read it seems like a good idea to keep dubias as feeders, but i'm hit or miss with dealing with bugs and i don't know if roaches will fall into my OMG I CAN'T DO THIS category. could that issue be solved with feeding tongs? i'm okay with feeding my beardie reptiworms, and i'm even okay handling them, but i'm not sure how i'll handle the roaches.
what should i expect with keeping dubias? do they need special lighting if i'm not interested in breeding them, or are they fine in a rubbermaid tub?
how old (or what size) should my beardie be before offering dubias? (my beardie has a little over half an inch of space between his eyes right now).
i'd like to learn as much as possible about dubias. i don't know if i'll actually get them as feeders since i do like the convenience and low ick-factor of the reptiworms, but i'd still like to know about different feeders and know what the other options are.
