Easy, get in contact with James. He is the one with blaberus.com, I would say Dubia. Thats what I feed all my baby Amyae and adults. I am sure they would all be able to eat them.

I just got starter colonies of the dubia, laterallis, and discoidalis - I think from Ken's suggestion of Blaberus.com..
The main complaint I have of the laterallis is the fact that they look like (and are closely related to) the typical house roach that makes me want to slap it. Heebee jeebies!
But, given the discription of breeding time and size, I felt it was a must have. I'd love to get away from crickets. Even though the lateralis are fast, the plus side is that they don't jump like crickets. I lose a cricket everytime I go to feed someone.

Yea, nice and quite too! I don't have to hear "chirp chirp"!!! I remember when I would goto bed, and there would be some crickets that did get out...oh man! I used to look for them, then they would shut up...then you could never find them!
Also a GREAT thing to feed your roaches is that Roach Buffet on blaberus.com, I just got 15 pounds of it! I USED to make my own, a little bit of cereal, oats, fish flakes, dog food, calcium and the herpitive...I thought that was killer, just got the Roach Buffet today, and my oh' my...they went and ate a crap load...! I was shocked!

I think the choice of which one you use is totally personal. Since I have so many arboreal geckos, I like the lateralis. My geckos aren't going to be on the ground looking for the dubia under the substrate.. but I'll still try and feed them to leopards, cresteds and lineatus.

I agree, when I get my aboreals, they will be fed lateralis, but then I will throw a dubia in for them to really get a good filling ;-)
