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

Medium. We have raised these on very moist substrate and lost every roach. We also have raised them where the temps dipped and they died. If everything is right they will thrive.
