Hello,

I am looking to start a colony of roaches..The crickets are starting to cost too much $.

I will mainly be feeding Crested Geckos/Leo's/and african Fat-Tail Geckos..Babies/Adults..

What would be the best roaches to go with that are non-climbers/Flyers, super prolific, and have babies that are small enough for baby geckos to eat? I was looking at Orange Spotteds and Six spotteds..but the orange spotted nymps look pretty big for a new born gecko to eat and the six spotteds I've heard are hard to keep

Any help and opinions would be great.

Thanks,

Bill Black

I feed my baby Nephrurus amyae and wheeleri geckos B dubia everyday. The babies are very tiny when they are born and can be eaten by just about anything.

Bill, In my colonies the orange headed roaches tend to be a bit more narrow than hissers and discoids. I have a large colony of cresteds and a lot of them are started on orange head nymphs. My leopards and fat tails enjoy them too. I have even seen neonate pictus trying to tackle orange head nyphs but they are just a little too small to tackle them. -Derek
