Cute cockroaches

[dodolah]

thought that this MIGHT b an interesting alternative feeder.
Notice I use all caps and bold indicating that I do not know if it is actually a good idea.
So far, the objection from the insect people is the fact that it's quite expensive.
for 10 dollars each. Lol... i guess that's a good enough reason, eh?
that's why i am not posting this in chameleon food forum.



I guess they can be cute to some people. looked almost like a flat lady bug to me.

Domino roach as pets, anybody?

I actually talked to Ken the bug guy about this at the last show. He told me they do not hit sexual maturity until (I cant remember which) either 1 or 2 years, then they live for another 2 years after. So with the maturity process being so slow he said there really would be no way to make them a food source. They are (dare I say) interesting looking though

I dont find them cute but it is certainly an interesting idea

I just bought a porcelain roach colony from Peter at bugsincyberspace.com

Good guy.

Expensive roaches though! I might use some as feeders but I'm about year a way from that.
