Our Discoids are raised in-house, so we can ensure you're getting the absolute best quality roaches!
Large discoid roaches (¾–1 inch+) are ideal for adult reptiles, including bearded dragons, monitors, tegus, large chameleons, skinks, Pacman frogs, and tarantulas. They are slow-moving, meaty, and protein-rich, making feeding efficient and stress-free. Large discoids provide more nutrition per feeder and are perfect for keepers who want quality and size combined.
