    Yes, I did want to be an entomologist when I was younger so most bugs don't freak me out. Lol. Honestly though these little dubia buggers are super clean and friendly haha. Almost a shame that they're feeders 😂 hope you enjoyed the vid :)

    How often do you do this? I just got a leopard gecko and I'm debating on if it's worth it for me to keep my own colony considering I'd kind of prefer to die. 🙃 I could stand to do this every couple months but not weekly or monthly. I'd rather just buy them every week.

      I'm a reptile person so I have these in my home to feed my lizards.
      At first I thought even the nymphs were gross and screamed when I unpacked them.
      Years later, I am so used to them and I can easily pick them up with my bare hands.
      And you HAVE to get use to feeding insects if you want lizards as pets. ;)

    @NeuroticLobster 4 роки тому

    If you crunch the dubia's heads before dropping them in the enclosure, they won't be able to run away or burrow. They'll still squirm around for a long time, though. I do this to prevent them from burrowing down so deep my tarantulas can't get to them.

    Wow that’s actually a very very smart idea, putting the heat pad like that instead of on the underside. I‘m going to try that with my colony. Also my guys (my geckos lol) sometimes also have the roach grab onto their head and then they shake it across the box that I feed them in it’s so funny 😂🤣

    • @TheTurtleGirl

      It would have to be heavier duty plastic, otherwise I might be a bit concerned about the weight of that much water putting pressure on the plastic sides. It could totally work though!

    In a previous video, you were dusting your roaches only with calcium without D3, do you change that up? generally calcium without D3 stays in a little cup in the enclosure 24/7 which i see in the corner, and then the roaches are dusted with calcium with D3 and a multivitamin powder from what I have researched.. leopard gecko on youtube has a video on this, along with GoHerping

      It's not preferred to let them digest it but if her heating is ok it should be ok, but yeah the reason its preferred not to use it and to use tile instead is because if they end up not digesting it right it could lead to impaction (where they cant digest something and cant poop) but I do know of people who use eco earth the geckos whole life and havent had any problems with it. I use paper towels to be safe tho

      Actually, that's the standard size for a leopard gecko enclosure. However, if you're planning to include more than one leopard gecko in the enclosure (females only, males are quite territorial), then a larger tank would be better.
