I've got two massive colonies of roaches I need to get rid of. The first are dubia roaches - I separated out the adult females (what really counts in establishing a colony) and I had 252 (there are actually more, but I was sick of counting after 250 but I saw 2 more at the top). There must be about half as many adult males (I feed them off at about 2 a day). Then there are easily over 1000 nymphs. I put the container (without the females) on a scale and it weighed over 10 lbs. There is some frass, and the weight of the plastic bin, but that's still one heck of a lot of roaches.

I also have a huge colony of thousands of Turkistan roaches (blatta lateralis)(Rusty Reds)(Red Runners) The whole bottom of the cage is also filled w egg cases. I've also been feeding lots of the adult males so it is primarily females.

It's been amazing to not have to buy crickets for many months, but alas I'm moving overseas and can't bring these with me.

I'm from the Cleveland, Ohio and will be at the Reptile show next weekend

$150 for the Dubia
$75 for the Turkistan

Attached are pictures of the adult Dubia females separated, the rest of the colony w/o egg cartons, and lastly the lateralis colony(one of 6 egg cartons)
