Doesnt say "contact for avalibility" or out of stock. So i assume he has them.
I didnt feel they were worth it over the normal size. They are more of a look at roach, but they breed way too slow for that 25-50% weight increase vs a normal green.
I mean we are talking 23mm vs 27mm or something for length.

They also can fly and are skittish so i would only feed by hand. Regular green bananas breed a bit faster but are definitely smaller and less heavy. Can slightly try to increase breeding, high heat (around 80) high humidity, naturalistic enclosure, lots of hiding spots, they prefer fruit.

Pretty sure it was too soggy of peatmoss. You want "really humid" but not a bogg.
