I just received my Blaptica dubia in the mail from Brad Ramsey yesterday all in perfect condition looking healthy. They arrived exactly when he said they would. They were sent in a container sealed tight with proper ventilation packed in a box with lots of newspaper. As soon as I opened the container, which included an arrangement of moist paper towels and a few slices of apples, I started seeing them running all over the place. They looked amazing, all healthy and there were a lot more larger ones then small. This is the first time I have ever had dubia so I was amazed how large the adult dubia were. Brad included atleast 80 roaches containing 3 females and 2 males with one female that is already gravid (great deal). I set up my roach container and started to transfer them over, when I got down to the last few in Brads container I was surprised to only find five small nymphs dead (probably due to the heat). When I looked in my container I could tell there was an overcount to make up for the lost ones. Brad was also very helpful when I had questions about them, I emailed the heck out of him the past two days and he responded to everyone very fast. Everything was perfect and I am very happy with the order of my bugs from Brad.I would definitely recommend Brad to anyone who is interested in healthy bugs.
 
On your small dead nymphs, were you possitive they were dead? Thye love to be on their backs and play dead.....I have also found they will eat the shed skins of the others and almost get inside the bodies.... I saw the dead ones walking.......... which were little nymphs inside the dead body, kinda like weekend at Bernies LOL Anyways would you expect anything less from Brad? Great job Brad and enjoy the roaches wst0209a.
 
They are dead. I made sure, that is the last thing I would want to see is a few roaches walking around in my room. Does anyone know how long it takes for a female to give birth?
 
Thank You for the VERY nice recommendation!
I'm so glad you're happy.
The gestation period is 25 to 30 days...I don't know how far along that girl is
but I don't think you'll have to wait too long! :)
