Hi-
There are not many threads coming up that directly compare these two- I think because some spell orangehead together and others as 2 words, so I thought I would start a thread that used both names for both roaches plus vs. + vs in the hopes people would find this more easily.
It is my understanding that they both-
* will not fly
*will not climb
*do not smell
* pose no infestation risk in climates with seasons (i.e. above the Mason-Dixon line)
*don't bite humans
The preference seems to be the orangeheads because they get meatier and are easier to gutload, and they are more active but can't climb or fly.
Do I have all this right?
I'm not in a rush, but I thought it prudent to have at least 4 colonies of feeders going before acquiring a chameleon. Right now I have started snails and I am looking into Indian stick insects and silk worms with the last being a beetle/roach. I will go to the store and purchase 2-3 other types of insects each weekend to gutload and feed off immediately (crickets, worms, etc.).
Are there ANY votes for the dubia over the orangehead?
