After some thought and price research I decided to start my own colony from scratch. I bought 75 mixed adults at a local store for 24.00. It will be a bit before I can feed solely from that but they sell small nymphs 15.00 for 200 so I'll deal with it.

The guy selling the colony is supposed to let me know if he decides to break up the lot and sell smaller colonies so I'll direct him to advertise here or convey the info along when I get it.

Thanks for the advice Kitten and J. If anyone wants the info let me know and I'll pass it along.
