Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Here's a pic of her guarding her newly laid clutch...well, ACTING like she was guarding it. There was no effort involved in my picking her up to put her in the bath--2nd and 3rd pics. As I took the 3rd (posted), I saw her wiggle her butt and freaked out. She laid another egg before I could get her out!!!! Guess I'm gonna leave Ms Sunshine alone for a bit longer!

She looks great, Matt! You must have gotten her nice and fat between the last one and this one. Good job.
Isn't that little butt wiggle cute? That sometimes comes right before a gigantic turd on your lap, too!

Yes Ma'am!! She was 523 grams a week or so ago. Just put away 26 eggs, not including the one she threw out a couple of days ago. Even if it was fertile when it was laid that night, it seemed to be too far gone to chance letting it get my good eggs moldy.
Unfortunately, I just threw away about 8-10 bad eggs from her 28-egg clutch laid 5 weeks ago, last night. It's amazing how much the good ones have swollen, compared to the tiny ones that I just put away!!!

Congrats on your gravid beardie!! What did you breed?
As far as food, I don't feed crickets. I switched to roaches several months ago. I started a nice colony that SHOULD have me set for baby food. They started slowly, but have been breeding like CRAZY for the past couple of months. My dragons love them WAY better than crickets.
But before I switched, I was ordering from LLLReptile. They have decent pricing. Heard of better, but they always took care of me, and my philosophy is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

THAT'S what I thought she did in the bath, the FIRST time I removed her from her lay box. Even had something white on my right hand, and told my wife, "Oh, she just went to the ba...OH CRAP, THERE'S AN EGG!!!!"

Haha! Congrats, Matt! See there? I told you they grow a LOT. Just wait until they're right close to hatching. You're going to be shocked! But it's so much easier to see it when you have brand new ones to compare.
Oh, I'm just so excited to see these little ones!

This was Tom - also from Kennesaw. I was feeding pinheads i raised myself but got over it. I also recently switched to Dubias. Thing is I think the new nymphs might be too big. I'm also not sure they can keep up production the way i have it setup.
Breeding pair is a Red German Giant to a Normal...

Thanks Tere! It is amazing to see the difference in size after 5 weeks.

First, congrats on the pairing!
From what I understand, adult female Dubia will produce around 25-30 babies approx ever 30 days. PM me and I'll try to help you with your set-up in a little more detail. But please understand, I'm no expert. Only switched over to roaches in Jan, but I've done pretty good with them so far...at least I think I've done good! lol

LOL...I saw her wiggle and immediately freaked out because I was afraid she'd lay another egg in her bath. I got her back in the lay box and saw some white "goo" on my hand so I thought she'd gone to the bathroom...and then saw an egg in the water!
