What nightmares are made of...

[stephanbakir]

Kayla has a disgust of roaches, so excuse her potty mouth.
Got a shipment of 1400 roaches in, needed to take them all out 1 at a time because it was infested with fruit flies an we didn't want to introduce eggs and flies to our colony... took 4 hours but we did it.

Sorry for the swearing, had I known steph's intentions I would have have tried not to swear XD .. There were just soooo many :eek:

[spots]

Nice! what kind of roaches are those?
They won't last long with you new Chomper :P

[stephanbakir]

Dubias, hopefully they last long enough till we get more lol. I figure at his size 4-5000 breeders should sustain itself, Wayne?
We are only feeding off males.

[ZARADOZIA]

I have issues. I watched just so I could listen to her curse....LOL

[infernalis]

I have issues....LOL

No arguments here:cool:

[Gungirl]

I really want a reason to have roaches... lol

[ZARADOZIA]

You can sell them on Ebay- the prices for them is crazy!

[Gungirl]

Hubby won't agree to me having them unless we NEED to have them. So I have to get my lizard first..lol

[infernalis]

My Gecko eats young roaches, so get a gecko :)

[alessia55]

that's... disgusting :Wow:

[jarich]

I have to admit, Im not the biggest fan of my roaches either. They are, however, a necessary addition to the zoo. My sav was eating me out of house and home before I got them. So funny to watch him now when I get the roach tub down. The tubs sit on top of his enclosure, so he knows immediately when I get it down what is coming next. He goes crazy! Starts literally jumping up and down, nose to the glass, walking on his back legs. You'd think I starve him the way he acts.

Bahahaa Kat I saw a black and white Tegu at the Expo last weekend.. He was a cutie.

[Gungirl]

[RandyRhoads]

ughhh...nasty...lol....

Were the small things on your hand poop or baby roaches?

[Kayla90]

They were baby roaches :P Tiny tiny little things

[CK SandBoas]

I have to admit, Roaches fascinate me for some reason. Does that make me weird?:p

[ZARADOZIA]

In a word...YES...but all of us are weird. So we fit together rather nicely.

[Will0W783]

I had a pet hissing roach, until it drowned itself. :(
I think that the giant hissing roaches are really neat, and I'll get another at the next reptile show, but this next one will get water via a sponge in his dish, and not just water in a shallow dish.

I'm right there with you. They creep me out yet I want to own a bunch. :crazy:

[Lankyrob]

If you dont mind i was wondering how much they cost you??

Just ordered 200 mixed for £9 - pretty much the cheapest i have seen here.

[jarich]

That's a great price. Online they are about $50 for that many I think. You can find private breeders with extra that well them cheap though

vid, now.

I should start a roach colony so when I finally do have something that can eat them I've got plenty. What's their life span?

[Norm66]

Neat video. Kind of Fear Factor-ish. LOL Thanks for sharing.

[stephanbakir]

The 1000ish roaches were 80$, but they were infested with fruit flies.
A few hours work and I can proudly say, out of the 100s of flies in the bin there are NONE flyin around. and all eggs have been disposed of.


Btw... any I the only one who noticed that randy is back?

YES we have a bunch of hissers! I absolutely adore them. All of them are quiet except one so I named him grumpy :D

Ill see what I can do about the video right away. Its pretty damn cute.

As for their life span, they live a good long time. It takes them about 4-6 months or so to mature and then they live for a further 18-24 months.

[SpOoKy]

The only issue I have with roaches are when they molt and are all white...CREEP ME RIGHT OUT!!!!!! blaaaaaaa I got heebie jeebies just thinking about them :)

[Squirtle]

I got over my fear of rodents fairly easy.. but roaches... :crazy:

[jaleely]

LoL "your face is blocking the light" i thought i was the only one who responded with "your face" to things hehe

[BarelyBreathing]

LoL "your face is blocking the light" i thought i was the only one who responded with "your face" to things hehe


Hahaha, I do that, too. Or I say "you're" so and so. Example: "Hunny, I'd like some orange juice". "You're orange juice". It's so immature of me, but I can't help myself.

But this video is awesome. Totally worth the sound, too. Poor Kayla. Lol.

[Trollbie]

Yeah... That would be the end of me.
