Blaberus discoidalis, commonly known as the discoid cockroach, tropical cockroach, West Indian leaf cockroach, false death's head cockroach, Haitian cockroach, and drummer, is a cockroach native to Central America of the "giant cockroach" family, Blaberidae.
The adult is around 35–45 mm (1.4–1.8 in) in length and is tan with a dark brown to black patch on its pronotum. The juvenile is brown with tan speckles and matures to adulthood in 4–5 months. Adults have wings but are not active fliers, and they can not climb smooth vertical surfaces, simplifying their care in captivity. They are very easy to raise in captivity, so make good feed for insectivorous pets such as tarantulas, bearded dragons, and other lizards. They reach breeding age in about 6 months if kept warm, with 29-32 °C recommended for more productive breeding. Females carry their eggs inside a brooding pouch and young are born live.
Discoid roaches aren’t very picky eaters, but remember that your pet gets much of its nutrition from whatever their food has been eating as well. Offer your Discoids a variety of healthy food such as fruits, vegetables and grains. Before you use your roaches as feeders, we also suggest gut-loading them, which is the process of feeding high quality, high nutrition food to the roaches for a span of about 24 hours.
