[QUOTE="dragonfly_dust, post: 5483, member: 439"] The question of getting a roach colony has less to do with whether it is better for your Ts but whether your Ts can keep up with the roach's reproductive rate! I had a dubia colony. From my experience, their size made it convenient to feed larger Ts. However once the colony was established...I got overwhelmed. Too many roaches and not enough mouth to feed. Unless you have a giant (20+ animals) collection of animals (Ts and reptiles alike) that can eat large volumes of roaches...don't get a colony!! Even cost of even getting small amounts of roaches at a time mailed is not worth it if crickets are cheaper and you understand gut loading! [/QUOTE]
