what do i have.

So I found a new pet store really close to my house called reptile jungle and found out on their website that they sell roaches. So I stopped in this morning and asked if they had dubias, they said yes and asked what I was feeding them to, I told him a leopard gecko and he nodded, so I asked for just 20. I get them, i get home and put them in their container, after dusting one and feeding it to my leo. I go to the bathroom and come back and i see the roaches climbing up the walls of the container with ease. I thought dubias don't climb walls. wondering what i have?

I can't recall whether my Dubia have antennas but if not, you could have got discoids or Turkish?

I don't know what they are but they don't look like dubias.

I don't know what they are but they don't look like dubias.

Ok, I don't want to feed any more to my Leo, just in case they aren't safe. I'm going to get some real dubias, i found a breeder that will sell me 50 for $10. I need to get rid of these roaches, and i spent 6 bucks on them. lol

Looks like discoid to me. Perfectly safe to feed, provided they aren't too large for your gecko.

for some reason i thought they were hissing roaches

Could be hissing or lobsters

Could be hissing or lobsters

are those not good for leopard geckos?

 

[Phoenix1115]

Lobsters are good. Ive never used hissers but i know others who have

I went back to that pretty store since I was in the area and asked what kind of roaches they had, they were hissing roaches, I didn't want to feed them to my Leo, so I feed them to my arrowana, he lived them, something different than his usual shrimp and good fish.
