Howdy Folks!
We have a bunch of Madagascar and Halloween Hissing Cockroaches....
Gromphadorhina portentosa and
Elliptorhina javanica which we have been breeding for a number of years now. We purchased several large colonies back 8-9 years or so ago outside of Columbus, Ohio and have never added any others to the collection in that time.
We have a couple of colonies that we started as baby nymphs that are overflowing their current home.....we are offering them in group lots at bulk pricing to any interested parties.
Madagascar Hissers make a good feeder for larger reptiles, tarantulas, some amphibians, and chameleons. The Halloween Hissers are softer as adults and plumper in the smaller nymph sizes. Both can climb up plastic/glass walls which is important for Chameleons who like to stalk their prey. They are basically non-burrowing which is helpful for Tarantulas and other "ambush" feeders. And at growing up to 3"+ in length they can make a big protein nugget for those larger appetites found in BIG lizards and even some mammals.
Ideally 1" to 1.5" have the widest appeal as feeders because their exoskeleton is still rather soft and the barbs on their legs are much less obvious, while still having a good chunk of meat on their bones.
These being offered are fresh adults measuring right around 2" in length. Again, they come from bins we set up as young nymphs so we could state with confidence that these are the freshest young adults you can buy anywhere. Whether it's to start your own colony, resale during the coming year, or feeding some big critters....we think you'll find this offering to fit your needs.
One last thing....we will not sex these to fit a particular ratio you may desire. We sell sexed fresh adults on our website at
www.royalroaches.com
Nor will we purposely fill your order with a bunch of males, again, we don't want to take the time to sex these at the bulk pricing we are offering them at. We are going to basically shake them out and QUICKLY count out your order and get 'em packed up. We are certified "Roach Wranglers" in large part because of handling these quick buggers for a long time now.
