Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 66948" data-attributes="member: 4199">any roach type has the possibility of invading your home.  The lateralis and dubai can't climb smooth walls though, so they're the prefered.  Dubia burrow though so unless your T hits them fast they'll be gone.  I've read they'll dig them back up later, but i have yet to have any of mine dig one up after it burrows away.I prefer the H. Lateralis, (red racers, turkish reds, etc.) as they're fast and that makes them a great feeder as it attracts lots of attention to them.  Most of my Ts will sit and wait on them to run by and tackle them.  Some will just watch until the lateralis wears itself out and starts slowly exploring, then will tackle them once they're in range.Neither type of roach will harm the T during a molt, which is another bonus.</blockquote>
