[QUOTE="Adraps11, post: 59867, member: 4220"] I am going to buy a GBB whenever I get the chance, or maybe a chaco golden knee...or!!! I have the addiction. lol January will allow me to have enough for one more Tarantula. I've reached my ebay selling limit for december. I have a surplus of Computer hardware to get rid of, it'll go quickly and hopefully by the middle of january I'm back at work. I'm watching a few online dealers. I have the space and patience. Maybe not a colony of roaches, but a large supply of all females, that would last maybe a month or three weeks. That's more of what I was thinking. I don't want to be making trips back and forth on a weekly basis. Not quite a colony, but a.... temporary apartment. =) These guys who sell the bearded dragons know their feeders. They have EVERYTHING labeled and categorized, in drawers, closets, and storage tubs. I'm sure they'd have no issue rounding up some female roaches for me. G. Pulchripes and A. Hentzi eat like elephants. I'll do more reading about the GBB, but I have a feeling it isn't a fussy eater. Plus it's not just Ts I'm into, I'd actually enjoy taking care of a large amount of roaches. Yes if they were males and females things would spiral out of control though.
