Dubia Colors

My humidity seems to be pretty normal. Whenever i add in oranges i take out the water crystals. On a side note I finally saw some baby nymphs today. Glad they're finally breeding

good to hear about the babies. What size is your colony again? and what is the humidity level?

Humidity last I saw was around 50% and I started with a small number of adults but about 300 large nymphs who are starting to molt into adults. I knew it wasn't be an instant thing because I didn't start with a bunch of adults.

Well 50% is about normal. I like to keep mine around 60%, its what I have found to work well. who knows...


300 large nymph's is the PERFECT starter colony IMO. Not to low numbers, but not so high that you send a ton of money. And with large nymphs, over adults, you don't have to worry about a bunch dying off due to "old age" or something else.

so while it will take 1-3 months for them to molt and be ready to breed, you will get the most babies, and production due to all of them being good breeding adults!

Yeah that was the plan. I decided against a ton of adults like you said cause of price and the possibility of them being old as hell
