Over the years my feeder roach business (The Roach Ranch) has enabled me to talk to countless amounts of people who enjoy animals as much as I do on a daily basis. One of the frequent questions I field from people day to day "Is this ALL you do for a living?" The short answer is yes, but the...

Have a raging B. Lateralis colony, Dubia colony, or Discoid colony? I'm always looking to buy in bulk if the price is right. Minimum count of at least 1000 and up on the Dubia and Discoids (the more the better). Minimum of at least a few thousand on the B. Lats. Please include sizes and if...

What is this animal? One of my customers finding them in their roach bin. Thanks, -Ian

About 3 weeks ago I bought about 5,000+ Dubia roaches off of Robert. He was a pleasure to work w/. Was very patient w/ me as I had to transfer money from my bank account into Paypal and it took a couple extra days. The roaches arrived in great shape, packed them perfect. The whole deal went...

Alright bear w/ me for a second. I posted something similar to this thread a while back but am looking for someone to walk me thru the steps to shipping a lot of roaches. I am sending my friend 450 male dubia. How would I package these correctly for winter travel? I'm going to get some 72...

I gotten asked recently by a couple of my customers if they had an escapee Blaptica Dubia, could it possibly infest their house? I'm from the NorthEastern USA. Winters get pretty cold. Any thoughts on this? I've never heard of tropical roaches infesting houses in the USA. Any info that I...

I need all you roach experts to help me out here. Seems that this is up for debate. Just WHAT IS the proper male to female ratio when keeping dubia? I've heard 1/3 all the way up to 1/10. Thanks, -Ian

Alright this may be a bit of a dumb question but I wanted to make sure of it before I proceed removing the nymphs. My adult Dubia colony so far has about 400+ females and 130+ males in it right now. Needless to say I'm starting to get a ton of nymphs. I wanted to remove them within the week...

I've got a quickie for you. I'm using the mesh that's used for screen doors on the top of my dubia colonies. I see some people use aluminum screen so are there any problems w/ what I'm using? Thanks, -Ian

W/o overcrowding what would be a good number of B. Dubia adults to house in a 35 gallon or 55 gallon sterilite tub? Is there a formula I should be using as to not overcrowd my tubs? I'm keeping a 3/1 ratio of females to males. My colony is really starting to pop and I'm getting anywhere from...

Hey guys what's the best way to ship roaches? I've had them come in the 32 oz. Deli Cups w/ vented lids which were nice and easy on the transfer to their tubs. AND I've had them come "loose" in a taped up box.... Not my favorite way to recieve them. I'm just trying to find the pros and cons...

Alright I've heard about 10 different things about maintaining my Dubia colony and I'm rather confused. Although I'm guessing that there's not only one right way.. Here we go. How often should I clean my tubs? (I've heard anywhere from every couple weeks to 3 times a year.) How often should...

Can someone settle this for me. How many species of roach are known? AND How many species are considered pests to humans? Thanks, -Ian

Alright since I'm new to this whole Roach board I've gotta say... There are a ton of fantastic looking roaches out there. I knew that there were many, many species of Roach but some of the photos are ridiculous. Awesome little dudes in my book. Too bad people focus on the few "bad apples" of...
