Blaberus discoidalis ​”Discoid Roach”

Blaberus discoidalis
​”Discoid Roach”

The discoid roach is a very popular feeder roach, having a fast life cycle and reaching a decent size. The nymphs are enjoyed especially by large tarantulas and lizards including bearded dragons. Unfortunately this species is capable of hybridizing with some other ​​​​​​Blaberus species (i.e. B. atropos) and the purity of many lines are not completely known. Regardless, this ridiculously easy, fast breeding and fun species makes a great addition to the low maintenance roach collection or feeder roach supply. Some specimens of this species have a nice, especially rounded shape compared to others and we are always selecting for this trait in our colony. Adults reach ~1.4″-1.8″  MORE PHOTOS HERE
