[USER=3872]@octanejunkie[/USER] forgot to mention that they are also fast, climb any surfaces and can infest your place
Dubias can’t climb slick surfaces, can’t survive cold temperature for long, reproduce slower than red runners but also provide much bigger specimen to feed your Ts as they’ll grow up.
I have between 2 and 3 thousands of these and after experimenting with several species of roaches, they are my favorites.
Grab one, crush its head (it’ll still survive a good week without its head) then place it on its back. It’ll move its legs frenetically trying to flip over which usually help trigger an attack.
Red runners are fine too but someone had to take a stand for the dubias!
P.S: the red runners also smell (stinks) a lot more than the dubias.
