[QUOTE="Telson, post: 89035, member: 7596"] Just as an update, my little kenyan colony has gone ape**** breeding, they're going to be great feeders for babies. Their climbing skills seem very weak, like surinams, and the standard one inch of petro jelly keeps them off the lid. The goblins are good feeders for arboreal tarantulas and amblypigi, but they breed and grow a bit slower than your average "feeder" roach. Very cool species, regardless. Im going to stop feeding them to my arboreals and concentrate on multiplication:) Very bold roaches, the goblins. They'll crawl right onto your hand. I finally got two adult males in my E sp. Ivory colony, it seems to be taking off well now, plenty of babies in there. That pause before maturity is rather long though. There are more viable feeders for sure. Plus I like my ivories:) I'll post a pic on wi fi at work tonight, takes too long out at my house. Dubia lats and kenyans are recommended for large collections, they meet all needs, from the smallest T to the largest. You could cut out the kenyans, as lat babies would be just fine, but my kenyans are flourishing and seem rather hardy , and very unskilled climbers. Good solid feeders. Hope this helps someone.
