PIaf94 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have a large dubia colony and would like to maintane that. My brother howere keeps stealing large quantities. It's starting to put a dent in my colony. Is there any way I can put some kind of lock on it? I've got them in a large 20gal Rubbermaid container for now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 If you have the money you can go buy a Zilla 20 gallon or bigger and it comes with the option to lock it, otherwise tell your brother to stop or he is getting roaches in his next meal!

wcbpolish Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 wow. why is he stealing roaches? To feed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIaf94 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yes he has over 100 tarantulas in various sizes. At first I was fine with it. Told him only take the males. Now my males are gone and he's feed the adult females!! I keeping telling him no but he still insist and I catch him every time. He power feeds his animals it's crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIaf94 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 It's still a pretty large colony. Idk if a 20 gal would suffice but I have thought about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Zilla has 40 gallon terrariums with the same feature otherwise drill a couple of holes and get some of that thin chain that doesnt break easily and a lock. thats what I would do.

spidermonkey79 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I agree you could just drill some holes and throw a lock on the rubbermaid. Another thing you could do is hold onto any die offs and tell your brother than you think something is wrong with the colony and it might not be safe to feed his tarantulas right now. Make sure you have a bunch of dead roaches to show him. That should make him think twice about using your colony to feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissim Klaw Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Assuming you live in the same house, next time he is out, hide a bunch of his prized spiders. When he asks where they are tell him you needed a protien source for your roaches and they were ground up to make this weeks food.You can let him know that since he loves sharing, you knew he wouldn't mind.

Loosey Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 if he has experience raising Tarantulas, he should be able to start a roach colony of his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpython Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was thinking what loosey said. They are easily enough bred... Give him 100 and cut him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
