dubias are great if they will eat them and easy to keep. Lobster Roaches can climb making them less desirable. Harder to keep in the container.

Dubias all the way.

I have both....dubias are cool. Some chams dont eat them, on the other hand they cant resist a lobster. I keep them contained by putting vasaline on the rim of the container.

You got it. The dubia is one of the most prolific roaches in the pet industry.
Here's a little info on them:

New Lobster Roach Colony

Hey guys,

I just started my lobster roach colony, I've had it for about 2 weeks now. I have them in a 20 gallon aquarium. Just wondering is it normal that some are dying and eating each other? It's not that many, maybe 7 at the most. I do have water and food provided to them at all times. I'm using a 75 watt light bulb on them. Could it be that it's too hot. I know that the hotter it is the faster they breed. Thanks for your help!

Here's some pics. Enjoy!!
