Our Discoids are raised in-house, so we can ensure you're getting the absolute best quality roaches!
Medium discoid roaches (½–¾ inch) are the most versatile feeder for reptiles, perfect for juvenile to sub-adult bearded dragons, chameleons, tegus, skinks, and other medium-sized species. They are nutrient-dense, slow-moving, and easy to feed. Compared to crickets, medium discoids are cleaner, quieter, and longer-lived, making them a hassle-free option for reptile keepers.
