Michael Johnson Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi Everyone, I've been looking for a roach forum for a couple of weeks since starting a colony of Dubia. I've bred crickets; which has led me to a vast hatred for the miserable vermin. I also am breeding mealworms currently and plan on getting into hissers most likely soon. I've owned and bred Leopard Geckos for 4 years and have ventured into Gargoyles and Crested recently. I've found that the Dubia make the ultimate choice when breeding geckos. I've used crix and mealies for a long time and found after introducing Dubias; not a single one refused. I'm also fascinated by the little guys and even feel bad when I have to serve them as prey. I haven't been taking a lot out of my colony yet because I want them to get established. I can't wait to learn more and meet you all! thanks Mj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allpet Roaches Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Welcome aboard Mj! I hope you locate a bunch of good feeders for your reptiles. I would suggest trying some of the Blaberus species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allpet Roaches Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Aren't Dubia apart of the Blaberus Species? Blaptica Dubia?? No, they aren't in the same genus. They are in the subfamily Blaberinae with Eublaberus, Hormetica , Archimandrita and a number of other related genera. Some commonly kept Blaberus species are: Blaberus giganteus Blaberus colloseus Blaberus craniffer Blaberus discoidalis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
