$400 in 40 Days

[Zephyr]

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!

Blaberus discoidalis

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

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.

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!!

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

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