i just got ~500 dubias.there are 57 females,and about 20 males.the rest are mainly large nymphs,with about 50 tiny ones.how long would it take to be able to feed about 15 adults and 15 baby leopard geckos?thanks!

It all depends on how each of your geckos eat. With 57 females you are looking at a colony that will produce around 1700 roaches a month. So figure out how many each gecko will eat each feeding and do the math to see what you will have to feed off in a month. And remember that it will take 4 to 6 months for a baby roach to grow to adulthood, and you need some of them to make it to adults to keep the colony growing and to replace any adults that die. So you want to make sure you feed a few hundred less than produced every month to keep everything rolling!
