i was wondering if anyone knew anything about green roaches? i heard about them recently as a good feeder for my basilisk. i have no idea if anyone sells them or where to find them. if anyone can help me out that would be great!

The roaches that you are refering too are called Nivea, they are relatively new to the roach market and not too many people have them. They do fly so that is a down side that people dont like but they remain in the open once free and can easily cought again. The croud that really like them is the chamelon and gecko croud they love them for the fact that they do fly and can easily established in a self contained environment, meaning if you place them in an environment that they cannot escape from and that can also provide an adequate environment for your geckos and then your set, it will function as a self contained food chain.
You can check my site out i have some info and other things that i can provide you with.

They're Cuban green banana roaches. You should be able to find more info on them using their scientific name, Panchlora nivea.

In my opinion, there are other roach species that make better feeders, but some people like the green ones for being more visibly appealing.
