What is the Best Type of Roach to Feed to Leopard Geckos?
Also the easiest to Breed and most Productive?

DUBLIA and litirlas are good for breeding but for care and feeding diblia

dubia are good, but when I had my colony, I started with about 4-5k. I ended up feeding all the young ones off and they never really reproduced much because of that. I have tried lateralis; my geckos like them, so I'm starting a colory of 400 to see how that goes. What Il ike about lateralis is you can feed the adults to adult geckos

I started with crickets, then migrated to mealworms, even tried Phoenix worms.......then eventually settled with dubias.

So much easier to care for and NO SMELL!

I started with 400 nymphs to feed my 9 leos and about 4 adult females and 2 males to start the colony. That was 6 months ago :main_yes: Had a little set back, but the colony bounced back quick.

Hue learning curve at the beginning.....making sure that there was plenty of heat......otherwise, the colony took care of itself.

I have used dubias but they don't seem to attract attention enough. I have used lateralis and they were great but they are a pain to keep and maintain due to them laying eggs. I have finally settled for lobster roaches as they produce like wildfire and they are live bearing, the only downside is they climb.
