I know that many of us have other pet reptiles and amphibians, etc. And we feed crickets and other insects.
I also assume that I'm not the only one that draws the line at handling and dealing with feeder roaches.
Recently I found these on the Chameleon forum. HORSESHOE CRAB ROACHES.
They don't climb. The don't fly and they move slowly. All very un roach like.
I've just started a colony.
30+ mixed sized individuals for $55 shipped.
They all arrived healthy.
They can live and even breed at temperatures from 60 to 90.
I'm housing them on damp Orchid bark with dry oak leaf litter on top.
I'm feeding cut vegetables and REPASHY BUG BURGER.
The adults are still a bit creepy. But only at first.
This might be a doable option for you.
I'm pretty enthusiastic about them.
I actually fed 3 of them off to my Chameleons this morning.
