Default Some livefood breeding questions.

I only have 2 lizards, a beardie and a gecko. I find getting livefood a pain in the bum, my local shops never have what I need when I need it, I havent been able to buy morios for ages for some reason. But is it worth it to culture livefood for only 2 lizards, I have images of being overrun with meal beetles and moths lol? And whats the easiest healthy food to culture? Nonwithstanding crickets I cant stand those things .

Roaches are the main consideration at the mo, along with silkworms, although I have heard they are difficult to raise. I think I am too paranoid to use any sort of roach other than Dubia though!

Primarily because I have read they cannot climb like the other species.
