get dubai roaches!
they are so easy to maintain and they breed real well. im acctually about to set up a second tank to start another colony.
no smell and they dont climb.
im not sure on breeding waxworms. i had read an article somewhere and it seemed rather easy if i recall correctly

From my understanding, wax worms are collected from bee hives by bee keepers. They are the larvae of a type of moth.

Like Mike D said roaches are the way to go they blow wax worms away protein/calcium wise .
I have been working on the dubai just trying to find some space for them. I know the waxworms arent near as nutritous I just want to give everyone as big of a variety as possible. And since they sound too time consuming I guess I will just buy them everyonce in awhile. How big of an enclosure to the dubai need?
i keep mine in a 10 gallon tank with a heat pad underneath. put some egg crate in there and you are good to go. once they get going they dont want to stop lol.
i just set up another 10 gallon tank with a male and a few females in it to get a jump on a second colony.
i also started a small cricket breeding colony for the time being as well.

Thanks for the info I will try and find somewhere to put a 10 gallon this week and then order some once I am done with finals and have tiem to get them going. And I have the crickets, mealworms, ghost shrimp, and guppies breeding just wanted something else and it is looking like the dubai are going to be the winners.
