BD proper care is very expensive, especially when looked at over their lifetime. We have homemade enclosures and it took a lot more money than anticipated. We had all the tools too, add another zero onto your $20 estimate. Little things add up fast. You want the cage to be large and suitable for them, the tiles, decor, proper lights (a significant expense and it isn't a one time purchase), placement of those lights, vents, etc. etc.PetLover16":2ao0zw78 said:Of course I was researching and I think I found some ways to save some money because I love D.I.Y. projects. But im not really sure on the total cost and the monthly cost for beardies.
1- To make my own cage a 4x2x2 from lowes or something. I already have tools how much money in wood to make it? probaly like $20 right?
2- Instead of UV blubs just building an outdoor enclosure as well. I live in the desert so temp is not an issue and he can get alot of sun. Id also make a spot in the enclousure for him to get in the shade to if he wants.
So what do you guys think? My 2 ideas sounds good?
I would very much like it if I got more than one opinion about the costs as well.
It's going to cost a lot more to make a viv. Check out http://www.freewebs.com/crossfireenclosures/ gives step by step instructions.1- To make my own cage a 4x2x2 from lowes or something. I already have tools how much money in wood to make it? probaly like $20 right?

Breeding the supers and roaches are easy as pie. Just takes a long time to get a colony established enough so you can feed off it and restock your breeding supply. Supers about 6 months and roaches 3-4 months.
Also superworm babies are litterally MICROSCOPICALLY small, it feels freaky feeding the "EMPTY" bin as you really cant see them at 1st LOL
