Zephyr's Amazingly Awesome Roach Thread

[Lori P]

(Time to bring out the roach thread!)

Kyle-- I have more roaches than I need now, and two local pet stores interested in them. But they are asking how to price them. What would you sell, say, a dozen adults for? And then a dozen mixed sizes?

Also, if they get into it and need more than I can provide, do you want me to have them contact you?

I would say a dozen for 4 dollars. If you could convert the nutrients in one roach to crickets, one roach basically equals 2 crix. You want to make sure you are selling mainly males, so your stock doesn't suffer!
A dozen mixed sizes for around $2.50 is usually good.

Of course have them contact me! :P
Let them know I have other species as well which may suit their needs better.

But Gertie-- if I didn't have roaches everywhere what would I have for a midnight snack??? They're crunchy and juicy and wiggly, all in one bite!!! (Ok. I just grossed myself out. LOL)

Hey Gertie, when you get that package in a couple of days with no return address, make sure you open it right away, in fact, open it right over your bed.... (snicker snort)

GAG ME! How are able to even consider keeping those yucky creatures?!

How can anybody even consider keeping snakes?

Ya know, I admit, taking the step to get roaches was a big one, but first of all-- Kyle's a heck of a salesman. :-) And second, I was soooooo sick of the smell the crickets put off-- crickets are just nasty. The roaches have NO odor, they're hardier, easy to breed, and they are so much more nutritious for the critters.

And, well, after a while, you kind of get a little attached to your colony in a weird way...

Kyle, got any of those HUGE hissing roaches???

I'd like to breed a colony of those.

You people need your heads examined.

Stefan, snakes are WAY different, cute, cuddley, sweet, darling and loving.

There's no way I'm gonna KISS a cockroach!

Gertie, I promise if you were to make that exact same statement to 90 percent of the population, they would think you need your head examined.

As a snake lover, I know first hand.

That's why Stefan threw that one liner out there.......

I'd even be willing to wager that there are more people on planet earth who would kill a snake on sight faster than a roach

Ever see someone run to the garage to get a shovel for the sole purpose of decapitating a roach??

Our little Chomper man would love to eat big hissing roaches.

Now let's give "fluffy" a kiss....
