Hey guys,
I bought a pound of Orange Heads from ABdragons and was quite pleased with the amount. The order had about 17 full-grown adults, a couple dozen extra large nymphs (close to adulthood), 1-2000 large/medium nymphs and several hundred small nymphs. Your mix really varies per order, they just scoop out of a bin and weigh em. This order happened to have a lot more larger roaches than anything else. My little guy is 5 months old (16 inches 255 grams) so I was hoping for a more medium-sized roach, so im pretty happy.
Rankins! I made a post in the Feeders section about Orange Heads, hoping to lure you out for some feedback. I decided to put the adults I received in a bin of their own to see if they breed, and then had a moment where I considered replacing my fledgling Dubia colony with my Orange heads. The Dubias have a decent setup with proper heat/humidity etc and I feel the Orange Heads would do much better in that setup than the one they currently have (Space is at a premium in my house so I have to make do with subpar for the secondary roaches).
Would you recommend pursuing Orange Heads of Dubias, or both? I want the best feeder if I am going to apply my time, and I want the best option for my little guy. I know you tout the orange heads, but are they truly worth replacing the Dubias?
