I think I'm going to start breeding dubias. Wanted to get some tips because I know a few of you breed them. Had a couple questions.
My T room is kept at 80 degrees. I know dubia need to be kept warm, will I need extra heat? Maybe a red heat light? Or is 80 good?
I'm solid on feeding, not worried about that at all. But as far as substrate I've seen both it used and not used, what would you recommend? If they require humidity I can see it being much easier with substrate.
Size/type of enclosure? I have a spare 20 long I can use, I know they can't climb glass, but what about plastic? Thought maybe a large rubber made tub but can they climb that material?
I have someone near me on craigslist who can supply a large starter colony based on what I feed weekly. Should I trust them to put together a good colony, or should I attempt to buy a certain amount of young, MM and MF?
Thank you for the input
