$400 in 40 Days

Zephyr · 08-22-2008, 08:22 PM

Well, the other day I had a very astonishing conversation with a roach friend of mine and found out that he'll be importing 4 pairs of Marcopanesthia rhinoceros, the world's largest and heaviest cockroach. The only problem is... A single pair is $400. My parents have agreed to let me purchase a pair of these awesome bugs if I can raise the money through selling cockroaches and my other "wares" in 40 days. I've wanted these ever since I set eyes on them in Allpet roach book and I finally have my chance!
So, if you need feeders or are looking for new snakes, here's what I've got! Now's the time to buy!

Feeder Cockroaches:

Blaptica dubia
Guyanna orange-spotted cockroach
$20 for 40

Eublaberus posticus
Orange headed cockroach
$20 for 30

Nauphoeta cinera
Lobster cockroach
$10 for 150

Blaberus discoidalis
False death's head/ Discoid cockroach
$20 for 35

^^^ These are the best candidates for a feeder set up. If you need care info, I can provide it!

Pet Cockroaches:

Archimandrita tesselata
Peppered cockroach
$5 each. Best price on the net guaranteed. Grows to 3+ inches and is very social; They'll eat out of your hand.

Gromphadorhina portentosa
Hissing cockroach
$20 for 30. Individual prices arrangeable. THE pet cockroach.

SNAKES!!!:

Butler's garter snakes, unsexed. $30 each. Feeding on either worm pieces, salmon/tilapia/pinky mix or both. Approximately 8 left.

Red sided garter snakes, unsexed. $25 each, 2 for $40. Feeding on the above. Mother is very spunky. :P

Thank you all for your support. Let's hope I can pull stuff together!

Kyle, I'll get you the email for Off The Ark, the place I've been selling some of my roaches to. I'll pm you with it when I find it-- hit him up for a roach order.

Lori P · 08-23-2008, 06:27 AM

Crap. Now I'm tempted to finally get those hissers. Darn you, Kyle! Darn you!!! LOLOL

I saw peppered roaches in one of the exhibits on vacation. They're cool! I wouldn't mind one or two as pets..........no colonies for me though!
And if it weren't for the leettle issue of it being illegal, I'd be over there at this very moment collecting a couple of the Butler's!

Good luck, Kyle. I hope you pull it off!!

Personally, I prefer the Tesselata over hissers. They look a lot more like mantids than roaches.
