Turkistan Roaches

[JeffreH]

You're quite welcome = )

I should add that this species is a bit smellier than other roaches...not as bad as lobster roaches, but they tend to get a bit more foul than B. dubia. That being said, the odor of crickets is much worse on all levels. You can afford to change/clean a large roach colony once every few months while you're lucky to tolerate a similar sized cricket colony for a week ; )

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be successful... Breed and be freed from those annoying crickets!

I use the turkish red runners as a staple and I put a small plastic container of New Zealand sphagnum moss moistend and put the egg cases in that. So far I see babies running around the bin. And yes, they can smell, but if you can find a oder control medium, (I get my from feedersource.com) you won't even know they are around.

I love these roaches. I have now changed my dubia out for these.
