So I've moved to Florida, and down here Dubia's are illegal . I had to sell off my entire colony that was a year old and producing well for me.
To note, I'm trying to feed an adult Beardie who is maybe 4 years old. He's a rescue and is 15 to 16 inches in length.
I'm having a hard time finding a cheap alternative. Right now I'm buying crickets weekly but half of them are dead by time my week is over. I also feed super worms but they aren't too good as a staple.
I'm trying to find an alternative roach to Dubias that don't cost an arm and a leg. Down here stores suggest Discoid roaches but they are literally $1 each. I looked at Orange Head roaches which are okay but smell bad apparently? I'm looking for a dubia alternative that has the same traits, don't fly, rarely climb, don't smell, and are a good staple.
Help???
