[QUOTE="Colorado Ts, post: 165584, member: 30045"] My collection of Tarantulas has grown to the point that I've given up on keeping crickets and I'm now maintaining two roach colonies; B. lateralis and B. dubia. Crickets and nice in small numbers and in ventilated containers, they are easy to care for and maintain...but they small. Roaches are much easier to care for, way easier to breed in larger quantities and make a great food for Tarantulas. The B. lateralis roaches have a nice range of sizes, from small pinheads to adults..so this allows me to feed tiny slings to adult spiders. The B. dubias don't have the tiny nymphs like the Lats have and they will play dead and burrow into the substrate...but when feeding large spiders they are a great option to possess. Currently I'm thinking of getting and starting a 3rd colony of roaches...Hissers... [/QUOTE]
