Caribena Versicolor

I am thinking of starting a Dubia colony. All information and opinions are welcome. Are there any foods to stay away from? I plan on feeding carrots and purina layena crumbles ground up of course for the baby Dubia. How long have you had your colonies and have you developed any allergies to...

My C. Versicolor is finally eating. The picture is not the best but she’s feeding on a pre killed pinhead cricket. I know it is only the second day and I probably stressed out over nothing but I have never had one this small. There is definitely a big difference between 1/2” and 3/4” slings...

Where should I post my questions? New to forums too.

I have a Brazilian black sling (1 1/4”) and a Honduran Curly hair sling (3/4”). Hoping to ask questions and gain some knowledge from everyone here.
