      I have a 4-5 m/o beardie and i feed him mainly dubias and occasionally veggies. He goes through dubias ridiculously fast. I’ve spent around $300 on roaches and I’ve only had him for about 2 months so breeding your own live food is definitely the better idea

    How long does an adult female’s egg sac stay outside of her body before going back inside?
    Am I doing anything wrong if I find egg sacs broken off and laying on the bottom of the plastic bin?

    I think the question might be stupid, but i want to be sure anyway...the male to female ratio: only those shiny adult ones are important for the ratio or let's say those 'almost adult teenagers' as well? asking because i have a very young colony, basically couple of little boxes from various suppliers (to mix up the genes pool a bit) and huge majority i can see are 'teenage females'

      you can only really clearly see there sexes as adults, the males dont get the wings until adulthood time, as they mature and you notice to many adult males just feed the males off, thaats what im having to do at the minute

      Nope. However that does happen when I have a big cleanout of my superworms and mealworms. It's the dust /poop. Grass. Gets in your nose and your body reacts in a state of hayfever

    THEY DO FLY. Mine were going crazy a couple nights ago and I’m glad I put the lid on because their wings were flapping. They didn’t fly very much but they did a little and that’s enough for me to be like NOPE. So do use a lid because I didn’t for a while till I saw that 🥴
