Anyone know if it would be better to use a space heater in a small room to heat my colony or to use a heat pad... It seems like I have heard that the control of the room temp is better than just using a heat pad??? any advice or suggestions??

Yeah that wouldn't be very good haha. You all know what I meant though. Any other communal suggestions or problems that you have run into??? Would really like to figure out common problems people have now at the beginning!! Thanks

Thanks for the responses! Man I guess I'm going to have to look into breading my own feeders.

So I just received 15 obt slings instead of 5 (which is awesome), but now I need to figure out the best way to take care of all of them. I really don't want to put each one in its own container, because I just set up 5 containers for the expected 5. Each sling is .5-.75" and I have them in a...

I just got finished unpacking 15 OBT slings. All are 1/2"-3/4". All arrived packed well and very much alive. I was only expecting 5 so I have started a couple communal set ups with 3 OBT in each container!!! Got very lucky and didn't have any incidents. Hope the communal set up works out...

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah I seem to have the opposite of a green thumb when it comes to these Avics. I guess some people just either have bad luck or something. If anyone else has any advice or opinions it would be greatly appreciated. Oh I do wanna say that I did flip the tiny...

I am looking into getting some B. Dubias to start my own colony of feeders. I have been doing some searching and found that a lot of people use cheap cat food/ dog food. I was wondering if anyone could give me a name or brand that they commonly use. Also, how much this food costs. I want to...

Hi all I had a question concerning the A. Avics. I have bought 2 within the last... oh about a month. The first one that I bought was a 2-3" juvie. I made an enclosure similar to robc's. Maybe had a little bit more ventilation than that. I kept the humidity around the 70% range. It died...

I just received 4 slings. 1" A. Avic .5" H Mac 1" P. Irminia and 1.5" G Aureostriata. I think I have read on here that you should wait a couple days to feed the Ts upon arrival. I was just wondering if this is the same for slings. I am going out of town until Sunday so they probably wont be...
