Looking for ideas/suggestions on how to sell my Dubia roaches, if anyone wants them. I have far too many for just one chameleon, never going to eat them all. NO mites NO mold.
Way too many dubia roaches...

Yes, if you live in a cold place, a heat pad and fiberglass to keep them breeding during the winter, my first babies were on dec, 25, 2019. I started out with probably 10 females and 5-6 males. It’s all a waiting game, don’t feed them off to your chameleon too fast.

I would be willing to sell them, I just need suggestions of how to go about doing that.

Basically, you just want a large enough container(taped shut so it doesn't bust open during shipment) with ventilation and some egg carton or paper towel for them to cling onto. Then put that in a box and ship priority usps. I like to put a small hole in the box too for added ventilation. Be aware of low temps this time of year(around 45+ usually nothing to worry about)
Also, pack the box with whatever so the container isn't banging around.

I like to donate my extra to local pet store employees, they love them for their pets and sometimes give me employee prices when I buys stuff.

So I do not have to worry about extra heating for them this time of year? Do I have to clarify that I am shipping live insects to USPS?

My discoids were barely reproducing until I made them a bioactive bin...cocoa coir/organic soil mix with isopods and dwarf white isopods and some cork bark to hide under. Now I’m at surplus.

I had the same experience with discoids! The blaberus and eublaberus roaches in general seem to greatly benefit from substrate and a naturalistic set up.

One chameleon is exactly why I didn't want to breed them. Fortunately, now that my beardie woke up from brumation, he's going through about 10 every other day. Num-num-num-num-num!

Are those Cheerios in the bottom of the bin?

They're Roachios now!
... And soon the dubias will be the Breakfast of Cham-(silent "h") peons!

Just an FYI, for a lot of other roach species you need a permit to move them across state lines. But dubia no longer need a permit (I think the USDA got sick of permits for the same species over and over)
