I have the following species for sale:

Archimandrita tesselata (Peppered roach)

This is a large species (check out the quarter for size comparison!) that grows slowly but lives long and reproduces gradually. They are excellent pets and are 100% handleable. The males can flutter, but cannot climb or fly. Ditto for the nymphs and adult females.

I'm asking $45 shipped for a group of about 15 nymphs and 5 adults.

Blaberus craniifer (True Death's Head roach)

These are 100% pure craniifer, not the diluted Blaberus hybrids that are often sold as death's heads. A great display roach and a good feeder, this species does well on substrate. The adults are a decent sized roach at about 2.5"

Wonder why they're called death's heads? Check the pic!

I'm asking $75 shipped for a group of 50-60 medium/large nymphs.. I can break this group into smaller groups of 10 for $20 shipped.

This is a Florida-native species and hence can be shipped there.

Byrsotria sp. "Cuba" (Cuban Burrowing roach)

These can be used as feeders or as pets; They are very easy to breed and I have kept them at "lower than average" roach temps (67-72) and had them produce copiously! Adult females are about the size of B. dubia but fatter and more filled out. Males are smaller and come in two forms; short and long winged. They like substrate, but it isn't essential. They cannot fly or climb. Adult females are one of the tamest, handleable roaches out there. :)

I'm asking $50 shipped for a group of about 50-70 medium/large nymphs. I will break it up into groups of 15 for $15 shipped.

Eublaberus distanti (Six-spot roach)

This species is absolutely amazing; the nymphs are little tanks and bulldoze around! They are by far one of the bulkiest roaches. The adults resemble E. posticus only with lighter colors, a different pronotum pattern, and overall greater size. Substrate is not required, however it does maximize reproduction. This species cannot fly or climb.

I'm asking $45 shipped for a group of 40 medium/large nymphs.
