Dubia
Blaptica dubia is actually a feeder roach that may be identified all through Central and South America. Dubia roaches possess a handful of various names like Orange Spotted Roach or Guyana Orange Spotted Roach. Blaptica dubia make a fantastic feeder roach for a couple of very good reasons. Their size is an excellent purpose, crested only reaching about 2″ as adults they are able to be feed to anything from tarantulas to huge lizards including monitors.
Dubia roaches are a non-climbing, non-flying species. Adult male dubia do have wings and may possibly flutter a quick distance but don’t fly. Females are wingless with little stubs, it really is simple to spot the difference in males and female dubia. Yet another fantastic issue about dubia roaches would be the reality they usually do not make any noise and have a very mild odour in contrast to other feeder insects such as feeder crickets and superworms.
This species takes about four months to attain adulthood and may live yet another 12 months just before the end of their life. Female blaptica dubia have live birth having a gestation period of about 35 days. She can have up to 40 babies at a time which are born white and will darken up as their shell hardens. They’re able to create at lower temperatures, inside the 70’s but will generate much better in higher temperatures and greater humidity. The temperature range that works the very best is inside the 92 to 95 variety. With larger temperature they’re going to consume more food and water so make certain which you keep a steady supply of meals and water constantly.
