Morning everyone :mrgreen:
Several factors have contributed to my desire to get some colonies of roaches going. I was never a huge fan of ANY bugs and yet I've managed to put my fears aside for my baby Sakura...but I was always hesitant to jump into the roach breeding world.
Needless to say, with the current weather being what it is, I can't seem to get any crickets shipped to me so that has been a huge factor, amongst others, in my decision to start breeding.
I've traded emails with Chad from BestRoach who absolutely defines the term "best" because he was so helpful and kind, and we've narrowed it down to Turks, Lobsters and Dubia for me. The Turks and Lobsters will handle my current feeding needs while the Dubia colony is growing.
Through some reading and research, I've decided to maybe skip the turks for now because they are super fast movers and that's a little too much "freak factor" for me at the moment... (I need to some time to get used to the idea of having roaches in my house)
Please correct me if I'm wrong about the turks speed.
Long story short...I'm about ready to buy what I need but it seems everyone is out of lobsters...I can't find them anywhere.
I'll be buying my dubia's from Chad, that goes without saying, but does anyone know of a good place that actually has Lobsters in stock??
I found one website that appears to have SOME good reviews from fellow BD.org members (the posts were pretty old though) but they are redonkulously expensive ($2 a piece, thanks but Go RED SOX!!...hint hint)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and a super THANKS to Chad from BestRoach...can't say enough good things about him!!
