there’s one genus with a bigger appetite the 3 Goliath spiders. Really any spider large enough to eat adult roaches works. Or do one even better and get a large lizard to eat Dubias.
Yeah once it starts eating again I’ll probably run low on dubia males. I gotta cut back on feeding that thing. It’s a fatty!! No clue when my klugi and lp are going to get full size. Talk about glacial growth rates. 3- 5 months for orange head roaches to get adult size, we’re talking years until they are an established colony. My temps are low 76 summer 70 winter
for Ts.
I remember someone tried to tell
I noticed orange head roaches are way more picky than Dubias which eat basically everything. They refused an apple core! Almost unheard of . Probably 4 months til orange nymphs are adults. My colony is a long way from established.
I can only get them to eat pure grind up roach chow and fruits/veggies.
That’s right in the range the temperature is set on and fluctuates above or below it. I’d have to set it to 90 for dips to be 85. I think you suggested the mat I’m using.
Colony is growing-well
.
The swarm continues to grow.
You've had great success with these orange heads gratz.
I just did I got to wait til more are full grown I’m low on males and adults.Yeah you're exploding in roaches... when are you gonna start feeding off? Or are you planning on being a roach keeper now?
