Orange spoted are really good (B. Dubia). There are supposed to be one of the best feeder roaches.

after doing some research i would agree, however i have not dealt with any other roaches either. after reading up on them, it sounds like they are slower, and cannot climb hardly anything in comparison to say lobster roaches. main downfall is that they take 3-5 months to reach breeding size, each female can lay about 30 eggs per month. they also have virtually no smell to them, and are extremely hardy. an adult will usually live for 1-2 years.

I think 3-5 months is quite quick for a roach...........but i have nothing to back that up, i don't know how long it takes for others off the top of my head. I think they are one of the all around best.

yeah, i just said that because the that's what the place i got mine from stated, i would definitely have to say i would agree with you and that it probably takes more like 4-7 for the dubia.
