I'm currently raising both dubia (Blaptica dubia) and Turkistan (Blatta lateralis) for my beardie. From what I've seen the turks are just as good and waaay cheaper than dubia. They also are much softer, hardly any shell really. None seem to escape, they are in a plastic critter keeper. I haven't seen any climb the sides either. They are super fast and don't play dead like dubia. Pretty hard to catch since they go to a crevice immediately. They will sometimes come out during the day ( a few that I dropped into dragon's viv) and he catches them by ambush. I really just wanted to hear other people's thoughts, it seems everyone is all about dubias and they are great, but expensive and breed so slow.
