:I have yet to hear such a complaint from a roach user. The type of roach that would eat a live bat is not the type that one would feed to a salamander anyway.
The majority of roaches and all of the ones that are cultured for food items are omnivores and will opportunistically feed upon any available food source (much like crickets). Additionally,the roach was in the same genus as the death heads but I don't remmeber the species off hand (and these are used as a food item for amphibians as well as reptiles). The fact that that you have not heard any complaints as of yet does not validate your claim as the sample size may be too small.
I can confirm (through records at work) that one of the roaches species (I believe Australian) became established in a Zoological collection and would predate upon new born Corucia zebrata as well as other herps. Neonatal Corucia are significantly larger than any salamander or newt.
