Man, Am I ready to knowingly bring cockroaches into my house?

I guess I am, but please tell me the Dubia Roaches do not reproduce like the German kind.

They need at least a temp of 85 degrees to breed.

Here's a link to dubia information that you may find usefull:

I would discard, for the most part, the "diet" section of the page, but otherwise good info.

B. dubia aren't the most prolific breeders (amongst roach species), but they can certainly multiply given the right conditions.

I keep mine in the garage; which helps me (and my wife) psychologically cope with the roaches in the house thing.

I'm super diligent about preventing escapes, but as you can see by the "Nightmarish stuff inside" thread I started yesterday I'm still learning...

Here's my setup:

I ordered a starter colony of Dubias and phoenix worms from dubiaroaches.com and they came quick, all alive, with food and I highly recommend them. They were super cheap too and they have diff deals for various diff feeders.
