Small = 1/4″-3/8″, Medium = 3/8″-3/4″, Large = 3/4″ and up
Larger and meatier than Dubia but smaller and less chitinous than Madagascar Hissers, Orange Heads (Eublaberus prosticus) are perfect for satisfying big, hungry omnivores and insectivores who never seem satisfied! Loved by larger bearded dragons, tegus and other lizards as well as tarantulas, centipedes and many other animals.
Same length categories as Dubia, but chunkier and meatier
Deep orange/maroon coloring and faster movement encourages reluctant eaters
Hardier and faster-growing and than Dubia
Prefer to eat a little more protein than other species, so this nutrient is passed onto whatever eats it. If growing colonies, add meat or other proteins to the usual diet of fresh veggies or roach chow.
Smaller individuals can climb smooth surfaces, but a rim of petroleum jelly around the inner rim of the enclosure should keep them confined.
Adults are prone to wing biting of conspecifics, but this is only a cosmetic issue.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Upon arrival, empty the critters into your storage container and provide food and water crystals. Roaches enjoy fresh fruits and veggies, but PLEASE DO NOT FEED onions, garlic, cucumbers, or avocados. Remember, what you gut-load into the animals goes into your pet.
We do not recommend dishes of water as these critters are prone to drowning in very shallow water. Water crystals in a dish or a wet sponge may be used as a water source.
If the weather has been cold, please allow one or two hours for the critters to come to room temperature, at which point they should start moving and resuming normal activity. Contact us immediately with any questions or issues.
