Well as of yestar-day i've gotten a boom in population! It's pretty epic. Now they can eat dead bugs in less then two days. Soon enough i can do a OFC.[Over Feeding Challenge]
Anyway just thought i'd update on them.
BTW i moved em into a smaller enclosure

What Should I do?[LIST]
Okay so as i've said last post i want to know what i should do with my new dermy colony.
Here is what i've thought of and my friend thought of,
1-Let em grow to an enourmously outragously epic number then give some to my friend
2-Let the colony do my evil bidding and eat so much that it beats my Unicolor colony at eating.
[BTW Unicolor colony has eaten 200 pieces of dog food and 6 flies in the last 90 days! Yea i have no life so i can count that stuff LOL!]

Why??????
Okay so yet another noob mistake[Sheesh what next!?]
Anyway i went to feed the beetles one day and i found that i left the lid off! No beetles/larvae escaped but lardarius decided to pay me a visit. So now i have two Gravid Females. Of course i have them in a diffrent setup and currently don't have a clue as of what i should do, So anyone with an opinion should speak up open to anything exept skull cleaning[Too messy and gross for my parrents not me though i can see anything without grossing out! :) ]
Anyway post a comment if you can/want and then i'll go from there.
The attangenus is doing epic it seems that with spring comes a population boom hopefully it continues for a few weeks so my population gets back up into the triple digits[Currently at 27 was at 13 yesterday!] Of course with this boom comes the bad bust cycle in 75 days LOL! Oh well not like i care just gottta do as much food through the colony as possible so they get more population booms and stuff. Hope this didn't drift off too darn much!

Bin awhile!
So i've been grounded still am for around 2 months now hopefully i get ungrounded soon. Anyway my Attangenus unicolor is doing well and has gained a small boom in population at around 20-30 mainly larvae. Anyway still no OFC as of yet. Anyway they are doing well on their diet of dead flies and dog chow. Since i know someone will ask me this; carpet beetles don't clean skulls[as far as i know] so they eat cerals and dog food. They also eat good old dead insects. They are usful in the fact that they only eat dead bugs so they make great cleaners for lets say a cockroach colony. Anyway thats it for this post.
