I am a long-time lurker on these forums, and joined about a month or so ago (I'm old school, what can I say). I just wanted to say hello to everyone, finally!
I've kept a colony of blaptica dubia for almost three months now. Originally I picked them up as an alternative to crickets for my bearded dragon. I had no passion for the subject of keeping a colony, and was doing it more out of convenience and it seemed to make financial sense. Well now, I get jut as much enjoyment caring for my roaches as I do my dragon!
I still plan on using them as feeders (almost there, as they are breeding about 400 nymphs a month now), but I am definitely fascinated with these little guys, something I didn't expect to happen in a million years! I look forward to the discussions I have and read from this group of passionate enthusiasts!
