    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.....

    =====================


    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....

FOR SALE:

Blaberus fusca (Dwarf Cave Roach)

Up to 2.5 to 3 inches in length as adults. These guys grow and reproduce quickly. Do best when kept warm (75-90F). Nymphs are great feeders! Adults good as display animals, breeders, or as feeders for adult tarantulas and scorpions. Adult legs are too spiny for reptiles to eat.

These guys are usually sold for $1-$2 each elsewhere. This is the best deal on the net!

Mixed Sizes (0.25" inch to adult)

50 -- $30.00

These guys are available until my colony is down to 1/3 to 1/4 in size or until further notice.

$12 shipping USPS Priority Mail
$28 shipping USPS Express Mail (best guarantee of live delivery, especially in cold weather)

The roaches are packed in insulated shipping boxes.

A heat pack is put in the box for shipping to destination in temps below 40F. Express mail is recommended if night temps at destination are below 32F.

I add some extra roaches with each order to accommodate for any losses during shipping. Let me know within 24 hours if more than 25% loss upon arrival. Also some roaches may molt(shed) during transit and the skin (if not eaten) may look like a dead roach. Please check closely to see that it is a shed and not a dead roach.

I ship Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I accept payments via PayPal or Money Orders.

For order inquiries or questions please contact me at [email protected]

I am PayPal certified, you can send payments to [email protected] through PayPal. Your shipping address in PayPal must be correct. If not, please verify your shipping address when sending payment or contact me through email.

These guys are very easy to keep. If you have any questions as to their care if you are especially looking to start your own colony, let me know and I will be glad to help. :)

My colony is fed a ground up mixture of high quality dry dog food, cat food, pelleted fish food, pelleted bird food and oats. Fruits/vegetables/leafy greens are occasionally supplemented.

I started off with about 100-150+/- mixed sizes (medium and large nymphs and adults) in mid-late 2009, and now I have thousands. These guys reproduce and grow rediculously fast as long as they always have plenty of food and fresh water. They become nice and plump when they are full of food and water, which makes them nice and juicy for your animals that feed on them. They reproduce and grow 2x-3x faster than my dubia colony!
