If you buy from The Roach Guy he sells small starter colonies at very affordable prices. They breed so well that you will always have small ones, but you would eventually have far too many than your T's could consume. But, if you ever expanded your collection, it would be useful. You could also sell them off to friends or fellow hobbyists. I only have two T's myself, a T. Stirmi and a G. Rosea, but I decided to go for it anyway. They are relatively cheap to start off and even cheaper to keep. And they are far less of a hassle than the crickets I used to keep. It helps that they don't smell or jump or do anything of that sort. They are actually fun to keep as well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
