Twitch8604 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Very nice, the only ones not in tubs for me is my new hissers. I've just fell in love with all the different type of roaches sense i got dubias lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briene Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Kinda looks like when I started!!!!!! Now that I've been doing roaches for quite some time...I hate glass!...I dislike clear anything.. I don't like bigger tubs anymore. I love the smaller ones with locking lids! I keep a roll of screen under my rack hahahaha. I have a hot glue gun in my supplies bin .....stash of egg crates...pcrystals and little tiny condiment cups ....trout chow in case I for some reason have no fresh fruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

island reptiles Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Im using the tanks because those are more my pets and I like to show them off with the small colonies they dont mind they have 1-2 inches to dig and a ton of cork bark to hide for the larger colonies we have 55gal bins (gray) or 56qt bins (clear) both are full with egg crates the 55gal tank wasnt finished we added a 30 inch cork log that now houses 100 orangehead adults and all the nymphs we have sooooooooo many supplies you can see the stack of egg crates we get that every month and use most of it lol have about 700 various deli cups 8-16-32 ounce cups and we just got in 500 more vented poly lids use about 15-20 pounds of chow a month,5 gallons of crystals,and big bag of bug burger,25 pounds of carrots,75-100 oranges 85% of that is for the Dubia colony let me see if I can find the updated pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

910eckogal Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow, that's a lot! Why so many? Are you a distributor? But very neat. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island reptiles Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I like to think of us as both a collector and distributor B.Dubia sell like crazy we sell over 50k a month the other 13-14 species we have only two are available for sale but they dont sell as well Blatta Laterlis,and Eubleberus Posticus the collection consists of B.Dubia E.posticus B.laterlis G.Portentosa A.Tesselata B.craniifer B.Gigenteus B.Discoidlis E.Ivory L.Subcincta N.Rhombifolia T.Petiveriana E.decipiens E.Floridana G.Oblononota think thats all 15 species not all are large colonys most are very small or just nymphs for the moment we also changed a few things around we had to add a new rack and started using smaller bins for the small colonies (as long as the species will fit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubia Dude Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I like to think of us as both a collector and distributor B.Dubia sell like crazy we sell over 50k a month I have a question. How large of a Colony do you have to sustain to be able to sell 50k every month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
