    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I noticed that the females are 1 $ a pop while the males are 50 c and seem far more rarer then the females.

Is there a reason that the price isn't the other way around, due to the females seemingly more likely then the male roaches?

Females make 20-30 babies. Males can handle 5 females,so not as many males are needed to produce lots of nymphs. Males are plentiful. Most people get about a 50/50 mix. Extra males are used as feeders.

And the prices you quoted are a bit high on the males. I see them at $.25 and females are right about at where you stated.
 
Yep, Rich is right. Females are the producers and are inherently worth more. Males are generally used as feeders, especially for bearded dragons.
