Prices of Dubias vary a lot!

[Treefolk]

I recently got a large colony of dubias and am going to sell off extras in the future. However, looking at what everyone sells them for, it varies drastically. I've seen as low as $0.01 per and as high as $.36 (same size, not talking about sub/adults).

I'm curious, what do you guys pay for them and what do you feel is a fair price to pay for them?

 

[Treefolk]

Nobody? Ok then

I apologize that I didn't reply quickly. I do have a life, ya know? I pay 25 cents each for my dubias. My geckos go crazy for them so I feel that every penny is well spent.

Hehe, I was just joking around. What size dubias do you get and in what quantity? Have you ever thought about raising some yourself?

Last time I purchased I basically paid .25 a piece but that's also factoring in shipping. Since then, I've started my own colony using those 75 that I did buy.

Oh okay. I get the nypmh size since the larger sizes make me nervous! I get about 40 which lasts about 2 days. I'd breed them but they freak me out!! Lol I only give my geckos them every so often, they mainly eat mealworms.

I see you're in California as well. If you don't have success breeding your own and are in Nor Cal, I could probably supply you for cheaper. It'll be a while, I have 5000 nymphs growing out into adults right now and 550 female adults. Might have some extra nymphs in about a month.

@Treefolk
I live in norcal by hayward area. Do you live close to there? If you do, can I buy some dubias off you in the future? I would be buying in huge numbers and would most likely purchase it periodically. Inbox me if interested.

I raised them once but they bothered my husband who has asthma and had to sell them off. Wish I could find a local supplier so I could buy them when I wanted to but even the local reptile breeder here (Wisconsin) doesn't use them. He uses strictly mealworms (I buy them from him in quantities lol)

I get 100 mixed nymphs for around $30

 

[Mclaughlin]

Oh and I have 2 colonies... Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches and Dubias. Discoids and Orange Heads are coming soon as well.

This guy is the best! Prices are cheap too! 100 mixed for 26 shipped priority mail. PLUS he sells Adults if you buy a mixed lot. You have to call or email to place your order.
