Where to buy roaches?

[CharlieRae]

I want try out red runners & orange heads for my panther chameleon. He refuses Dubia. Where can I buy either or both of these? I can't seem to find small-ish quantities. I dont want to buy 50+ if he wont eat them & be stuck with a bunch of bugs. Hes my only reptile.
Thanks!

You can message the Bug Lord @jamest0o0 he has a ton of different colonies and sells roaches. They are very healthy as well!

Here's a link to his forum thread showing what roaches he has for sale. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/roaches-and-isopods-updated.174164/

How many days in a row did you offer them? Generally, when they get hungry enough, they'll eat them.
This is the way people often have to get reptiles unaddicted to superworms.

Everyday for over 2 weeks. He ate 3.

James has variety packs, I think. So you can try a few. Orange heads are nice, but they get BIG, so you need to feed them off before they get full sized (plenty of time to do so, unless you forget about them like I do!). They're very active. Can't speak to runners, but I got Halloween Hissers from James that were also good sized feeders for a full grown panther. They are probably the only roach that I think looks kinda cool.

My guy is almost 9 months old. So not quite full grown

Let @jamest0o0 know and I'm sure he'll recommend and send appropriate sized feeders.

Sorry, I should have also asked, did you break down during that period and give him something else?

They're all individuals, and all different. It could very well be that he doesn't like dubias and would rather starve, but that would be very unusual.

Dubias are just an excellent feeder, and if you're not going to raise them yourself, they're readily available. It'd be nice if your cham's behavior could be modified to accept them. That's all.

Hes a dirt eater. I didnt give him other bugs, but he ate dirt. Little Ahole. I posted about his weird dirt eating in another thread. I think you commented on it.
