Cool,(kinda)
Lots pepole who breed large amounts of geckos/other lizards also breed roaches for food. The reason people choose them over crickets is they do not smell supposedly I have never kept roaches (mealies and crickets are fine for me), do not make noise, and they cannot fly. Here are some links: http://www.blaberus.com Gecko forums
Rattler, what was your species again? I know we talked about it long ago, the one that does not climb up glass? I might be interested in keeping them as food in the future... ya know, for reptiles.
B. dubia...............forget the genus............cant climb glass.....keeping them in a rubbermaid tote.....they cant climb that either.....and they love blackberries and raspberries.........
oh and dont get discoids they are spastic b*stards from hell.........dubia are great....discoids are about un-handleable.......the are on meth....i swear.....twitchy as hell
I agree with rattler mt, dubias are the best......
Roaches are a little slower and harder to breed than mealworms, thus I breed them for food.......rattler mt, do you breed your dubias? If so would you mind taking a pic of there setup for me?
Thanks a ton,

gecko.............give me a few days....dont have a digi cam and have to borrow the shops
Fryster.......not when you grow raspberries.....whenever i go and pick them i find a few that have been worked over by birds or bugs or it they are arched over and touch the dirt they may mold a lil bit, i pick them anyway and throw them it the roach tank..........the blackberries come from some we didnt eat fast enough and started to go bad.....roaches aint terribly picky but clean up the raspberries and blackberries quicker than anything.....i generally feed mine scraps of fruit and veggies we eat.....tops of carrots, apple and orange peels(they dont eat all the orange peel but they work it over pretty good) sweet potatoes.........most anything really............after a couple days what ever the roaches dont eat gets thrown in the worm/isopod tank and they break it down further.....
