Wanted: roaches (not dubia)

[Jpatter123]

Im in Florida and looking for some roaches to set up a breeding colony. I think I'd prefer discoid so I can assure my wife they won't escape but open to anything other than dubias. I won't break the law, period. Let me know what you got.

All I have is Dubia, but I have read that Discoid are pretty much the same when it comes to raising a colony and nutrition. I would definitely go with the discoid if I were in Florida. Do you happen to watch Orphan Black? Off topic, but I have to ask.

I'm in Florida as well and I got my discoids from here, just in case no one on the forum has any: http://www.roachcrossing.com/category/for-sale/cockroaches/roach-type/florida-legal/

They're pretty much exactly like Dubia in terms of care, though I think they do reproduce a bit more slowly. That and the females are winged, so it can be hard telling the adults apart.

Thanks. The prices seem very reasonable.

I don't, should I?

If that's your wife in your avatar then yes you guys should watch it! I don't know if it's just me or what but she looks a LOT like the main character, at least in that pic. And given the plot of the show, it makes that even cooler!
