Any interest in Dubia roaches?

I'm thinking about breeding dubia roaches here soon for a water dragon I might take in. A pretty small colony but more than I would need.

Does anyone else feed or breed these guys? They are actually pretty neat. I was holding one the other day and thought it would be neat to reproduce them. They don't have that "dirty bug" feeling at all.

Not really the wife wouldn't go for bugs But I heard somewhere that Leopard gecko's can eat them Im going to have to double check to be on the safe side

Beside's that I honestly dont know much about them...

guy at the route 10 show had them... and breeds them... CREEPY if you ask me... bleh. I think it was Plethora of Pythons in Chesterfield... but he said they reproduce like CRAAAAAAAAZY...

That would be me. They are super easy to breed. I was selling starter colonies at Rt 10.

Might want to think before calling someone creepy they might be listening.

you aren't creepy the roaches are creepy... i dont like bugs... ewww

Dubias are much better than crickets. They don't smell, make noise, climb, fly or bite your reptiles. They are more nutritious than crickets and are easier to breed and keep. Gecko's, Bearded Dragons and Chameleons love them.

All they need to be happy is a dark space (big tupperware tub) with egg crate, some heat (90 degrees), ground up cat food and water gel. I throw a piece of fruit in once in a while and they are happy as can be.

Don,

So Leopard gecko's can eat them as well?? If so I might get a few from you....

yep I have a friend who comes over and picks out some for his gecko. He picks out the smaller ones.

What would you charge for half a dozen to a dozen of them? You can shoot me a Pm if you want....

id be interested in feeding them to my leopard geckos, bearded dragons and chameleons. i hate crickets the smell is horrible no matter how clean you keep the container and they are SOO LOUD, lol.

I picked up some from Don ( GREAT GUY!!!! cant wait till I have some extra free time to hopefully go by and spend some time with him speaking on genetic's maybe even hit the pool table even he'll prolly crush me off it LMAO ) A few of my Leo's took to em the other's showed NO intrest in them LoL

Clarence, be sure to leave those roaches in over night. The roaches will not bite the geckos and the geckos may need a little privacy to enjoy a new delicasy. The meat to shell ratio of these roaches is seven times better than crickets, much healthier for your little guys. For others who are interested in a colony, I have been approved to have starter colonies at the show on October 30th. You can purchase a starter colony there. I can also give you instructions then on how to properly care for them.
