Want to buy roaches

[ctodaro]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a starter colony of roaches (discoid, or turkistan since i live in Florida). I was wondering if anyone on here would be willing to sell some, or if anyone knows a good website.

Thanks in advance!

There's someone selling discoids on this forum. Go to the top of this page and click on the Market tab, then go to chameleon food.

For local, check craigslist.org, someone in your area might be selling what you are looking for.

I got my roaches from here and was pleased with the service: http://www.roachcrossing.com/category/for-sale/cockroaches/roach-type/florida-legal/

He has quite the variety of roaches and insects, including discoids.

Cool thanks! I actually saw that website, and prices seem very fair. My only concern was how many adult females and how many babies would come in the mixed batch of discoid roaches so i could find out how long it will take to get a colony going and all. What was your batch like?

I actually found them on Craigslist for cheap, and not too far away. I didn't even think about searching for roaches on Craigs List lol

I did a custom first order to make sure I had some adults to get the colony going. He takes orders over email so it was easy to hash out what I wanted and what he was charging. I didn't give them enough heat to start so I had to get another order to supplement my colony a couple months back.

Yeah if you can get a colony for cheap off Craigslist, that's great for sure! I didn't have any luck with that when I was searching around. Shipping can be so pricey.
