There is some controversy over black boxers. Some so called "black" boxers are really just heavily dark striped reverse brindles. Others that really are black- are mixed with another breed b/c boxers don't carry a gene for black coat color. http://www.newcastleboxers.com/blackboxers.shtml...

I think that will work great, thats what a lot of people do in fact. I don't know how supportive the pvc plastic is, so you might want to use some extra wood to run across the bottom to support the weight of the plants so the plastic doesn't bow- if you think its going to flex. Again I don't...

Hey, here are some pics of my dogs- I have two white boxers now :)

Butterworms are also good, nutritionally. My cham won't eat anything worm-like though, so can't comment on the crix thing.

Welp, I checked the mesh a while ago and it doesn't hurt my hands, its really warm, but I wouldn't call it hot. I guess I overreacted, the darn fixture is HOT so I assumed the mesh would get really hot too. He has so much spunk today! poor guy, I didn't realize he was cold before. I got some...

I got a basking light (100w) since it is getting cooler in the house. His UVB bulb used to be enough, but now its too cold in the house. Anyway, I'm worried about the wire mesh getting too hot and him walking across it. He does use the mesh a lot to get around, and has walked along the top...

Silk moths do not eat from what i've read. Therefore I would think that the moths are of a lot less nutritional value than the caterpillars. I guess its fine if you have some extra moths, but I wouldn't feed them many like you would the caterpillars since their nutritional values are different...

Hi, I just made a cage from pvc as well. Like MZ, said I used plastic zip ties to attach the mesh to the pvc. you can see my shopping list here. You probably won't find the 3-way corner pieces at any plumbing or hardware store b/c they aren't used for plumbing, only furniture. I ordered...

A pvc panel slightly smaller than the frame on that side- so it fits inside of it.

Thanks everyone! It was a trade off on the mesh- I didn't want to use aluminum screen b/c of accounts of chams loosing nails/toes getting caught, so I got the 1/4" mesh which crickets can definitely escape from! I didn't see them escaping, but I found them hopping down the hallway, until my...

It wasn't as cheap as i thought it would be mainly b/c I had to order the corner pvc pieces online since they aren't used for plumbing they were $16 shipped. $15 mesh ~$10 pvc $5 trough $2 zip ties $5 hack saw for pvc other odds and ends- probably about $50 plus lights and decor. In...

Frame is 1/2" pvc bottom is a cement trough 1/4'' wire mesh 25x20x42 Still need to pick up a light fixture to span the top, and let the plants grow in. Chillin'!

More specifically can dubia and lobster roaches be kept together?

Don't have pics, but basically a 40 gallon plastic rubbermaid container with egg crate on one side vertically so frass falls through, and food and water gel on the other. I cut out half of the top and used a soldering iron to attach aluminum mesh by holding it to the plastic and melting it. It...

I've seen them in Lowes a couple weeks ago, but they never have many in stock- just a couple in the "indoor" plant section, not outside. Maybe you can ask an employee if they carry them year round, if so when another shipment will come in. you could also get an umbrella plant as suggested, or...

I buy crickets and breed the roaches. I left a superworm in the feeding cup with some crickets (and food for them to eat of course) so we'll see how that goes. If nothing else I'll feed them to the turtles and salamander at work before they die. Perhaps I'll give silks a go later. I've been...

Thanks, I guess I'll keep trying periodically. I still have the super worms- maybe he'll eat them when they turn into beetles? ha.

My cham won't even try anything worm like. I ordered butterworms- which all died because he never ate them. I got wax worms, nothing. Won't take super worms either. I don't really want to order silkies and find out he won't eat those either. I have tried offering nothing but wax and...

I asked the same question before. I was told human heating pads. Some people leave half of it out from under the enclosure. I was worried about the safety of it as well. I am going to adhere some small foam "feet" on my rubbermaid roach enclosure to raise it 1/4-1/2" from the heating pad just...

I have to agree roaches are great! Easy- check! (No) Odor- check! Cheap- not so cheap, but they breed easily Good Nutritional Value- check! I also have B. dubai- they are so simple. Just set up the enclosure and throw food and water gel in it when they run out. I check them once a week and have...
