Message: <blockquote data-quote="VanessaS" data-source="post: 78014" data-attributes="member: 4948">The guy that I bought the two G. pulchripes from had the dubia roaches.  He said he would even set me up with a colony for free if I wanted.  The problem is that they are illegal in Canada. Not just a by-law thing like the tarantulas are, but a CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) big deal thing.  And while they wouldn't survive outside - they will do just fine in a warm apartment building.If they got out and got into another apartment - I would be on the hook for extermination fees and even relocation fees for other tenants.As much as I hate crickets, and I really do, I will stick with them over any of the roach options.</blockquote>
