I also breed mine after getting a starter colony so I don't have to rebuy discoids, since they do get expensive.

I dont know how to breed roaches lol guess I got some research to do.

Food, water, and enough heat and egg carton is all it takes! I don't even provide heat to any of my colonies, and they all thrive and breed!

I recently had to thin out my discoid colony, but if you’re in Brevard county or willing to travel I‘ll give you some adults and nymphs to get your own colony started.
I’ve gotten discoids from varied places and don’t recall any other than http://www.lindasgonebuggie.com/

It’s super easy. Keep them warm (easy to do in Florida), feed them and they’ll do the rest.

How do I keep them from breeding once there are a ton of them. I only have one cham to feed so I dont need thousands lol.

Give them away or sell on Craig’s List. It took about a good year for my colony to get really big and I got rid of my extra on CL.

Sell the rest, and make some bank!

Thanks! I guess that makes sense lol

PM me if you’re interested in my offer.

Don't they escape and breed all over your house though? They can run up plastic walls like it's nothing, it's terrifying.

And what about the tiny ones? They could get out through small cracks

Ok thanks, I will have to think on it. I've also never shipped live things so I should probably figure those requirements out before I start breeding roaches lol

Discoids cant climb .

 

[ERKleRose]

Discoid roaches cannot climb or fly, unless they're climbing something not slick

The only escapees I’ve had are ones I’ve dropped and wasn’t able to catch. I keep them in a large clear sided plastic bin with bioactive substrate, which seems to help them reproduce faster. Here’s my adult bin.
