If so, what type of roach do you and your leos prefer?

I think it'd be interesting to start breeding roaches, especially if my leos and cham like them.

And anyone have a good caresheet for what ever type is known to be consumed by leos?

If this is off topic... I would have posted on the feeder forum, but I'd prefer to hear from the people I "know" instead.

I prefer to feed my leos mealworms, which we also breed. That said, my leos do eat roach nymphs from time to time - they are just harder to contain/keep in the cage then the mealworms. We breed hissers - the youngest nymphs are fine for our leos - digestable and you can gutload them with just about anything.

can you describe what their breeding is like? Numbers of babies, frequency, how fast the babies grow to a size too large for leo consumption, etc.

Thanks

For a leo. I'd go with a spieces of roach that can't climb or fly, like the orange head.

There is a post over in the feeder forum that gives info on them.
