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.

No real secret to breeding dubia just keep them relatively warm and fed.They do the rest.As for super worms I just keep them in a tub with fresh wheat bran toss them an occasional carrot and leave them alone.I also have a thriving colony of super worms living in the substrate of my turtles pen.I literally do nothing but leave a scrap or two of food occasionally and their numbers are booming.

Try to increase the surface temp on the basking spot to 130. Adding another light should do the trick.
A tip on handling... don't. Leave the end of a hemostat or pair of tongs in his food area whenever there's food in there. Spend a lot of time in the room, act just like you would if he wasn't there. When you spot clean, change water, etc, never bother him. When he starts to get curious about you then you can begin to hold food with the hemostat/tongs and feed him that way. Take it slow and patient, let all interactions be on the monitor's terms, and he'll almost completely lose his fear of you. I used this approach and my monitor wanders over to the enclosure door to see what I'm up to every time I enter the room, faster if he sees the tongs. He still contemplates whether or not some piece of me might be edible every once in a while, but a healthy monitor isn't going to be puppy dog tame. More like cat tame, one of those cats that will pounce/bite a toe just because it is moving and the cat is bored.

just spent hours upon hours looking around....and damn them to hell....dubais are illegal in florida. And they are the EASIEST to keep to. I dont know guys....let me hear some feed back here. Is it legal to have them shipped from out of state? Is there in state breeders here? Or is just just all the way around illegal to own them, breed em...etc......
And as an alternative what would you guys suggest to breed?
