I can’t seem to find roaches at any pet store....

See i live in Moreno Valley and i went to Petco, and Prehistoric Times. Neither of them had any other insects besides mealworms and crickets. Does anybody who might live near me know where i could find some feeder roaches ?

I believe Bayou Beasts has lobster roaches; www.blaberus.com has a wider selection, but mostly small colonies of about 10 are sold(to start a breeding colony). The species there are more expensive than lobsters, but are mostly non-climbing species and most get larger than lobster roaches. I’d recommend death heads, orange heads, or orange spotted roaches.

Tony will have more species of non-climbers in the future..

I help supply him with extra lobsters right now as he goes through alot of them. Hes working on orangeheads, discoides, and in the future both of us will be working with Giant cave dwellers, and a hybrid Dwarf cave dweller/deaths head crosses. There are others just not sure which to work with, so many roaches so little time!!!
I may stop getting hissers in the future, depends on how the other species go, Sobek is the only reason I kept them since zeus was gone.
