hisserman Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Not animals of the same type, as in non-cephalopod invertebrates. I know..... I wonder if this applies to endangered bugs..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEarthExotics Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 i really like the pvc hides for them. looks real clean. how well do they do in it? do they seem to like them better or as well as cardboard/egg-crates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Haha, well I'm expecting about 500 roaches soon here, so I'd say they do just fine! And this is why I'm now keeping the males and females separate! This is probably a stupid question and just a mistake on my part, but I have a female who JUST gave birth and is now airing out a pretty far along ootheca, am I losing it or do they actually do crap like that?

I think they actually do crap like that..... how hong ago did it give birth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think they actually do crap like that..... how hong ago did it give birth? About a week ago, and I pulled her out of my breeding tank specifically, and in the female tank she was like, "Hey! Not so fast newbie, BAM! Ootheca" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ootheca" Lol. I don't know if roaches have a cool down period to regenerate their nutrients between birthings or not, I'll assume if they are well fed and cared for they don't and will have one after another. My discoids are like that, babies, extended ootheca, babies, ect ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKatie329 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Wow, that's hardcore, I'm glad I have more than enough room to toss some bins in my closet! How complicated and legal is it to sell these? I know how to package them but how about shipping over state lines, etc? I know no Florida right? Do I need a license? I guess like a USDA license or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess like a USDA license or something? It's pretty easy to sell, no license needed, and no Florida like you said. Make sure to send a small overcount for deaths. Most full grown roaches sell for about $1 each. If you're just trying to get rid of them, lots of forum members can take them for the price of shipping (like me--I'll take any species, any time) Hopes this helps.

KitKatie329 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ooh so much awesome information! Thank you! I'm beginning to wonder how many cultures I can hide in my closet before my dad notices, I'm officially hooked and looking into a few different species to add to my collection. Yay!

It's best to be up front about it, that way you don't need to hide anything and can openly talk about it. Plus then people are more open to let more around.

JeffreH Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Agreed. Take your dad out to dinner and just lay it out there..."Dad...I have something to tell you, and you wont be happy about it....I like roaches." = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Haha well it's not a secret I'm just not sure at what point he'll get uncomfortable with the amount, plus he doesn't come in my room often so it's not a huge deal.
