[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 204684, member: 3872"] I didn't forget to mention those because they're [B]not[/B] qualities of red runners. Much like dubia, they cannot climb smooth surfaces, like flat plastic or glass. And while they can become an invasive species under the right conditions, they can just as easily not establish in less-than-ideal conditions unlike other roaches species which are more adaptable. See the German cøckroach Regarding the odor you mentioned, the accumulation of fecal matter or waste from any species will usually admit an unsavory odor. It is incumbent upon the keeper to manage waste and the enclosures of their colonies and therefore control odor. Misinformation to credit dubia as being a "more desirable" species does not outweigh the benefits of red runners for the three primary reasons I mentioned. But everyone is welcome to their own opinion, and their feeder of choice, and I hope you enjoy your dubia served cold [USER=33266]@Oursapoil[/USER] [/QUOTE]
