Dubias don't breed the fastest they're one of the slowest. I have lobsters and they're really quick to breed, my colony has doubled in a few months to the point where i'm having to sell some off, and that's with feeding 2 adult cwds and an adult beardie. They cant fly although they can flutter a little. They can climb smooth surfaces but i put vaseline around the top of the tub which stops them as long as it's not too dirty, i also have tights over the top just in case. Just need a heat mat on the bottom of the tub, egg trays to hide in, feed them and leave them to it.

I like the Turkish Roaches. They do not climb but can jump (fly) a few inch. If kept right they breed just about as fast as the lobsters.

turkistan roaches are very fast breeders where as Dubia roaches are alot slower
but Dubias are bigger (more meat) & slower
your dragon would like that in the long run

Does anyone know the rough prices for roaches at the moment?

its prob best to have a quick look online for prices, most are pretty much the same, though I always find customer service is something that should also sway your choice of retailer.. there are some pretty bad ones out there, though roach breeders are generally good!
