Hey, a Colorado Keeper Convention is definitely in order!

Well, for me I've got a typical screen enclosure but have covered two sides with plexi. That made a big difference. I mist heavily 2-3 times daily, have an auto mister, a repti fogger, and a big humidifier....that all seems to work. Oh, and I have a lot of live plants in the enclosure too...

Humidity is tough here in CO for sure...I use a typical screen enclosure but have covered two of the four sides with plexi. My enclosure is located in the corner of the room (yes, the living room), and the plexi is on the two sides that are closest to the room walls. I had used this setup for...

Just saw the South Bay Keepers gathering post and I'm very jealous...just wondering if there's anybody else in Colorado on the Forum? And while I'm at it, I'd be willing to wager that I'm the keeper at the highest elevation in the states...8,550 feet above sea level...talk about a humidity...

When the colony gets rocking they go thru food...I saw oranges reduced to orange peels after about a day (according to guy I got mine from). If you stick your nose in the tub you can smell em, but it's mostly the food. Crickets reek! Dubias hardly smell at all. You get a laugh every time...

If you can take care of crickets, you can handle dubias. But keep in mind I'm only a few weeks into this new adventure. Just google dubia care, all the care sheets are pretty much the same...They can't climb or chirp (good), they need moisture and good food. Seems like they are not...

Wow, you've got a keeper! I can already hear the screams when somebody gets curious and wonders whats in that closet...

I just about 15 adults and some quantity of little guys myself about three weeks ago. Been feeding off some of the smaller guys, otherwise I'm letting em be until they get established. If I understand correctly, before too long that tub is going to be loaded with dubias! And one tub can...

I was thinking about this thread, and laughing to myself today as I was picking up my first starter colony of dubia roaches...yes...I've now purchased roaches and invited them into my home!

Seems like there havent been any chams at the expo for a while...what's up with that Colorado? Is it even worth going this time?

Love those carpets!

great shots!

I use a cleaned out lemonaid bottle, and trim it so there is a open cup at the bottom and then leave one side with a bit of a rim around it (about an inch left over from the top and other two sides). Then I hot glue a little bit of screen on the side and hang it off the side of the enclosure...

In Colorado it's always pretty dry, and that works for me. Two sides and a humidifier (plus good misting)

Everyone should win. Those are all amazing shots. Kudos to all of you!
