Who wants more varieties of german roaches in culture?

[Cariblatta]

I'm thinking of acquiring more varieties of B. germanica strains from Auburn. Who's with me on this idea?

Sounds interesting. Do you have more info. What varieties?

I can't remember exactly how many strains they had but they had something like 2 strains of brown ones and 2 strains of black ones.

Pink would be nice.

How did you acquire these? I see a list here but did not know they were for sale. Something other than black eyes is nice, orange body is nice.

U mean the ones with pink eyes? Wish Auburn had those strain but I don't think they have them

I have some connections with professors so I can acquire some of the roaches that are bred in laboratories. Unfortunately, there were only about 4~6 varieties of germans in the lab so not all the strains in your link are available

Only thing I got from a lab was house flies, but they weren't ordinary they were smart and infested my house and each year their outside offspring find a way in its nuts! They were sold as food for reptiles.

No, I was joking.

LOL

Some of the wild fruit fly population managed to come to my house so I now have a fruit fly infestation in my room. Good thing is, these guys are really good for feeding Heteropoda venatoria slings

Oh...Lol
