Dubia roaches, originating from Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay in South America, have an average adult size ranging from 4 to 4.5 cm (1.5 to 1.8 inches), with nymphs (Juvenile Dubia Rooaches) measuring approximately ¼ inch. These roaches exhibit a lifespan of 1.5 to 2 years and demonstrate prolific reproductive capabilities, with females producing 20-40 nymphs monthly upon reaching sexual maturity.
Dubia Roaches can't be shipped to AL or FL
Dubia roaches, commonly known as feeders or pets, exhibit different nutritional compositions between adults and nymphs.

Care for Dubia Roaches
The optimal storage solution is to place the Dubia roaches in a container with smooth sides to prevent their escape, while also providing internal structures for them to climb on, thus promoting their optimal development. It is best to store them at a temperature range between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to 77 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
Due to the longevity of these insects, owners need to ensure Dubia cages are cleaned 1-2x per week and provided with fresh dry and moist food. If food replacement is neglected it could lead to cannibalism or fungal growth, dependent on consumption. When hygiene is neglected for the roach and their cage pests can come in to live alongside the Dubia such as mites, flies, or unwanted beetles.
