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.

Roaches or worms
I've read a lot of people that are feeding their dragons roaches. The very thought of it freaks my daughter out.
My question is, why roaches? Are they more nutritious?
Let's talk worms- I'm reading a lot of conflicting information on that.
I've read that you can feed them meal worms, then I read that you shouldn't give them meal worms.
Which is true?
How many insects should I be feeding him per day (he's only about 6 weeks old right now)?
He won't eat much of the greens right now, but I guess that will change as he gets older.

first feed him as much as he wants, keep putting greens in every day he may take a while but most will get into there greens. Crickets are good as are dubai cockaroaches, in the roaches a lot of good stuff plus less chitlin. Superworms are great as well dont put bugs in to big or he wont eat them easily. lots of good stuff and they make great pets so enjoy them, poppabill

Thanks. He ate well today. Brussel sprouts for breakfast and about 4 crickets for dinner.
I have some dubia roaches ordered.

He's up to about 25 dubia a day plus greens and the occasional superworm.
I'm certain that no matter how many I give him, he's going to eat them all.
I'm not sure when to cut him off.
I'm worried he'll eat too much. He's such a little guy.

Personally, I would allow him to eat until he no longer shows interest. Young dragons are voracious eaters and when he's done, he'll stop.
Also, for what it's worth, both dubia and superworms are super easy to breed as well if you ever decide to get other dragons... or if you want to save $$.

I feed my dragons a variety of insects, dubia roaches, and hissers tend to be the staple for mine, but i also feed mealworms, crickets, wax worms. my baby dragons i think im going to be feeding bean beetles. they're so small but as of right now they havent eaten at all yet.

Variety is the spice of life for lizards. I mix it up, but I hate crickets. Dubai roaches are awesome. Stereotypes aside, they are much cleaner and don't have a strong smell, among a dozen other advantages. If you need a regular source, I like http://discountdubias.com/
