    Plus it takes forever for them to mature, and they'd die before ever having the chance to reach adulthood. Also, if you do plan on getting the orange spotteds the adult males DO fly! They say they don't but trust me...I had a huge male get out and fly around my kitchen for about 30 minutes before I caught him!

    hahaha cool!

    Thanks a ton for the info!
    I hope there are no laws here (Ontario Canada) as I really want to get the Orange Spotted ones.. they sound easy enough to house & I LOVE bugs as pets! also I know it'll be a better meal for Lilly.

    I'm sure they'll creep the hell out of Trevor, so I'll just have to chase him around the house until he looses his fear of huge roaches LOL ...ok I'd never do that to him as I know I'd pay for it later as he's much larger & stronger then I am & he knows all my tickle spots

    I'm gonna go to the reptile place that isn't too far from home to see if they can order me any. Oooooo I hope they have some & that they are under 20.00/each.

    Ooooo crazy thought!! If I can get one I'm gonna have to take one down to my land lady & say "Hey Julie I found this in my apt. What is it?" Oh man I can have some real fun with that LOL... I just hope she doesn't hit me with a broom

    oh ya!

    My sister's friend told her about their sick lizard cause the poor thing was refusing to eat crickets. She asked me what other bugs are safe for them to eat & I told her about the Orange Spotted cockroaches. Gave her all the info you posted above & she thinks they'll really like that solution as they aren't fans of feeding him just meal worms (he likes those). They want variety.

    I can't feed Lilly (my Rose Hair) Meal worms as no one will sell me just 1 worm & I don't want 6 as they all turn into beetles by the time shes ready for her next meal

    If I had something that would eat the beetles then it wouldn't be so bad. But my fish are too small, Axle wont be able to see it, & Realm is scared of moving things & I have a hard enough time getting him to eat different brands of pellet food. Picky critters! lol

    The reptile store is trying to get me the Roaches. He said they might be illegal here in the city, but he'll hook me up with the guy & we can do whatever under the table
