I will see if I can source some of those.

How big are the Blaptica Dubia babies?

Sorry for all the questions: But could a T survive just of roaches?
or should I buy once-twice monthly some crickets?

I will go to local petshop and see what roaches they got... will then post the list just for some advice if that is OK.

Good luck finding roaches at your local petshop. Most do not keep them or want to keep them, because of misconceptions. There are petshops keeping roaches, but very few.

My Ts live exclusively off roaches to be honest. It is more likely what you feed the roaches that end up in your T, so I give me roaches a gourmet variety of food and they are happy.

Well... I have been convinced of getting roaches.
My local petshop has feeder food so hopefully roaches as well.

My only problem is... WHICH roach?

Blatta Lateralis id say u should get. Babies are 0.5cm to adult 3cm "Egg layers"
Blaptica Dubia 0.5cm babies to +-6cm adult "live birth"

If you have money id say get both and you will never have to spend a cent on feeders again....

The trick is to leave the colony for +6months before you start feeding them off to let it establish its self and have a constant supply of roaches. also you will need to start off with +100 roaches in each colony to get a good number for mass breeding

Thank you, that is exactly the type of info I was looking for! How do you balance the supply:demand? Don't want to end up with too much supply... :blink:
