And bananas?? Are those both ok to feed roaches to gut load

I feed mine both, but I'm no expert. I did previously research though, and I don't remember finding anything adverse.

Oranges are good, not sure about bananas. This page has recommended gut load foods, hope this helps. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/food/

I feed oranges occasionally, I have never fed bananas. My go to list for gut load foods is squash, sweet potatoes, dandelion greens, mustard greens, carrots, endive, arugula, turnip greens and a few others. I really only feed fruit sparingly.

Fruit such as bananas will definitely rot faster.

Where do you guys find organic oranges? I've looked in all HEBs, central market, trader joes, and whole foods around Austin and can't find them

I have found that the most widely accepted food for all feeders is cucumbers.
I use a ton of different foods, supplements, and produce but I have only been keeping roach colonies (dubia and orange heads) for about 4 months so I can't claim to have anything but anecdotal experience.
If you want me to post everything I have fed and how quickly they ate each I can probably start a thread for that.

Also, I have found that unlike a lot of other feeders my panther will NOT usually take roaches from a bowl or cup or any container but will immediately snap them up once they crawl out onto a branch. He will take worms of all sorts, snails, and crickets from a cup but never ever a roach.
