I just got my new lobster roach colony from our BBBQ. I know they breed like crazy. What care do they require that differs from dubias and lateralis?
I used to look down my nose at lobsters, but after a day of feeding them to my inverts, they make a helluva nice feeder, overall.

From what I've read, their care appears to be pretty much the same as for dubias and lateralis. All three are tropical species, preferring warm, humid conditions. Although it looks like the lateralis might require slightly less protein in their diet than the dubias or cinereas (Lobsters).
And, of course, the Lobsters are more talented climbers, and do burrow.

Thanks, I had to google scopulate to find out what I already know. What about temps, food, etc?
