What would be the best roaches for Uroplatus, hissers or lobsters? Thanks.

well, kinda depends on the size of the gecko we're talking about. of course, you dont wanna try adult hissers with satanics, or anything along those lines (as if thats not common sense). lobsters and hissers each have their ups and downs, from what i hear. thenagain, i only have adult hissers in with my henkeli, never gotten my hands on lobsters yet.

lobsters are about ten times more prolific then hissers. hissers are built like tanks and are tough to handle, even for my adult standings and they eat beetles. the only down side to lobsters are that they are real fast and can get out of just about any cage. they produce a lot of babies, hatch out small(perfect size for any baby gecko), grow fast, are soft bodied, and are easy to keep. i have discoids(false death heads) or Blaburus discoides sp. theyre alright, softer bodied then hissers. i have orange heads too but they hadnt had any babies yet. roaches are a whole lot cleaner then crickets and dont smell as bad. a nice lobster colony is a good insurance policy.

Thanks for your replies guys. I'm currently keeping sikorae sikorae, phants, and lineatus.
