Good info here - thanks. I'm adding a pair of ackie monitors to my collection and decided to start a Dubia colony. LOTS of info out there.
Dubia roach depot has some extensive educational material (great for someone like me that's OCD).
I've got my Hefty 72qt tub, a UTH (if needed), and a shopping list; 100 count starter colony with a 1:5 M to F ratio and assorted nymph sizes, a cleaner crew consisting of Dermestid and lesser mealworm beetles, luffa water dish, and for ease of use their MNERR food mix. I'm sure the last few items are just their way of doing thing but it seems to work for them.
Hope to have the colony relatively established prior to the monitors arriving, if not I'll be supplementing with crickets and superworms anyway.
