any images of the setup? I'd like to see what your ventilation is like. What is your substrate?

It's a Tarantula Cribs 8 inch cube. Holes are 2mm in size. Any bigger and I'd worry about the babies getting out. Substrate is ABG mix. I don't have any plants in there just because my room doesn't get enough light and it's not all that well set up. My dubia colony has a better setup. I'll post pics of both. And in the second picture that's both the common and halloween hissers.

thanks for sharing! perhaps i just need more patience. my setup is similar, just a bit more ventilation.

I bought a batch of dubia to be used as feeders, but I must admit, I find them intriguing in their own right. As long as you keep them warm and well fed, you really can't go wrong, can you? It's only been a month, but it sure looks like they're multiplying already.

Any pics ! Share ! Yes feeders end up like an extra pet..
here’s some roaches I just got the oranges a month ago.

I got a post-molt pic of my G. Portentosa- I love the color they take on while their exoskeleton hardens.
