You'd better watch out with that tank. If you're gunna get babies they can climb up the silicone on the corners. I'd HIGHLY suggest getting a tub (sterlite/Rubbermaid) w/a lid...cut out ventilation holes on the lid and drill SMALL holes on the tub.

I've heard that... I've never had issues but some times when I'm chasing around the nymphs they get their whole body up and then just fall on their backs and start freaking out again... and I swear when I get them into the cup they start squeaking... good thing I don't use hissing roaches!!

That's a whole different story. I just made a post (yesterday?) about not having any luck breeding my hissers. I've had one batch of about 30 nymphs and nothing since...

They are awesome! The hissing is hilarious! I saw one 2nite that I thought was dead, went to pick it up and it hissed something fierce! Damn near crapped my pants...

Shoot! The local pet shop in Houston wanted almost $4 for the adults. I jewed him down to $3 by buying multiples... :/

Ah wow! No one sells any roaches here cause they all apparently fail at doing it (how?). Also it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a veiled around here. All anyone carries are Jackson's... I probably got the only one in the state

Seriously?? They're a dime a dozen in TX. Every reptile show seems to have like dozens available! PetSmart and Petco have them in stock regularly...

We have a PetSmart 2 mins from the house that we go to almost every day getting something for some creature! They have the best options and still have crap :/ They carry Timberline with actual insects that are ALIVE. I love Timberline as they are always healthy and the contents are dead usually when I go to other places. We know everybody at the store! We go in and they practically have it for us... they know their regulars
