If only I could get them all to lay in the layboxes.

If only. Luckily I noticed quick enough because she laid them in her hide on the paper towels. Thanks,

Cute pic Brian. I'm ready. Have a good size mealworm colony going now and geckoboy (Nathan) dropped off 100 dubias so they should start breeding in a month or so. :D

Mine seem that way too. I'll give it a try when they hatch, otherwise it will be 1/8 roaches for them.

Don't be so sure about B.dubia roaches, they are slow, both in breeding and in growing in comparison with B.lateralis, which are the best feeder insect as far as I know. I started with 100 adults of B.dubia and in 8 months have about 300 adults and 150 sub-adults with many babies, but that is on 30+ degrees Celsius with vegetables or fruit every day...

I wish you the best! Can you tell me what was the weight of your female?

Thanks!

Don't worry, I'm prepared for food, I can easily get 1/4" crickets. I do not know the weight, as I do not have a scale. She was gravid when I bought her. She gains alot of weight back quickly and eats voraciously.

She laid another 2 clutches after this one. I have had to flush clutch 1 and 3 as they molded over and had extreme dents in them (due to not being laid in nest box and on paper towels). The clutch that she did lay in the box are doing great, have grown and no signs of denting or mold. Here's hoping for 2 hatchlings by the end of June :D
