that don't look like a dubia to me, it looks like a lateralis, but I guess I'm wrong cuz it is a madagascar hissing roach! Dubia shells can be really hard, and even though i have noticed that geckos can digest this, I prefer to give them the nice soft freshly molted dubia. Even the nymphs are good for any smaller gecko when they're white. It is really a luxury since I will find a large white dubia in 5000 every few days, but maybe there's more and I just don't see them.

I have been feeding my tokay dubia's for about 6 months. I started out feeding males from the colony then the males seem to just going to quick so I switched back and forth. If I have tons of females that what I feed. I always try keep a 20 females for 1 male. He use to eat tons of crickets but now only eats 2 or 3 roaches a week. My sons leo eats one about every day. or an adult every 2 days.

It is true that they eat fewer roaches compared to crickets. This is because roaches are more nutritious, they don't need to eat as many to get the nutrition they need.

Dubias only work well if you can feed them from a bowl. If you need a species that won't burrow in the substrate or hide all the time, lateralis are good. They're more cricket-like. I just started using them for my toads, they love them.
