Red Runner Roaches (Blatta lateralis), also known as Turkestan roaches, are an excellent feeder insect for a variety of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Unlike Dubia roache s, Red Runners are small, fast-moving, and highly active, making them irresistible to reptiles that prefer to hunt live prey. Many people worry about roaches becoming pests in their home, but Red Runner roaches are NOT the same as household roaches like German cockroaches or American cockroaches. They require specific conditions to breed and thrive, making them unlikely to infest your home if properly stored. Red runner roaches are faster and have a higher moisture content, making them a better choice for visually-oriented hunters that need a stimulating meal, while dubia roaches are slower, have a lower moisture content, and are a more common, hardier feeder choice, though they are prone to burrowing. Red runner roaches also will not borrow, they like to climb and run around the surface of the enclosures, making it an ideal feeder for a chameleon! Show more
