pics of my dubias

[jaleely]

Just a couple of the big ones i pulled out to play with. I haven't googled how to sex them yet. I'm lazy *lol* They are thriving though, and that's awesome! Here's some pics.

Did you know that they are delicious, and taste like a combination of pork and whatever you feed them?


Personally i like em with apples in their belly

[jaleely]

you keep saying these things xanafein! BLAH!!! lol if i EVER tried one, it would have to be cooked, battered, or covered in chocolate. And even then i might barff. But i couldn't eat my own...i have to save those for the frog ; )

[Xanafein]

I cant help it they really are rather tasty... although it was a bit of a shock the first time one tried to run out of my mouth pre-bite....

In any event, Nice looking little buggers, Your frog probably loves em nice and meaty ;P

[GarterPython]

I think I might try and eat one, one day. I think the only hard part would be eating the first one. The rest would probably be yummy. Might do it if one of my friends dared me to. (Just to proove them wrong :P)

[Xanafein]

Get them to make a bet first :P then start chowing

or do what i did, and eat one to get free roaches at a reptile show

[GarterPython]

The only problem is I am in Canada! :( Or else I would try it.

[jaleely]

BLAH no, yuck!
And i haven't fed the frog yet...i'm trying to get breeding stock. I guess i never would get that far if Xana was around!!!

[Xanafein]

I cant help it, they are really good fried and dipped in peanut butter...

I came up with a sugary funnelcake like batter for it to its actually really yummy

Those all look like females, the male adults have wings (but cant fly) the females have none :)

not until they mature...those are nymphs...at this stage you sex them by looking at the shape of the last body segment...the 2 in the last picture on the right look like a pair...see how the last segment is a dirrerent shape...one more round the other more square

[Norm66]

They look so neat I don't even have anything that would eat them but I've been tempted to start a colony just to have it.

[KORBIN5895]

I would eat one. If you can't do it just for kicks what makes you think you could do it when it is necessary?

[Trollbie]

Ok these aren't so bad... I'm not puking :D

[Trollbie]

Ok I read the whole thread and now I'm puking...

[jaleely]

Trollbie...LOL!

[exwizard]

Those are cool looking Dubias. If I had anything that required them as feeders I wouldve bred some by now.

[jaleely]

exwiz....you should totally just start a thriving colony and then get something to feed them to...buwahaha!!! I'm such a bad influence! but, at least you'd be ahead of the game! hehe

[jaleely]

I got my first male, and first female! I grew these!!! Yay me!!! They are the only ones in the bunch. Everyone is universally getting bigger though!!
