Roach Pics!

Some roachy love! ❤

See that thing sticking out of her back end? That is her ootheca, or egg sac. She's pregnant! It pokes out sometimes. I don't know the whole process, but they actually have live young.

See the pretty light-colored guy? He molted recently, and his shell hasn't hardened back up. When he's brown, he'll be all crunchy again.

I have honestly NO CLUE how many roaches I have... but I had probably 15 of these egg crates stacked together, and every time I pulled one away from the bundle, there were about that many roaches in between. So, I guess a million or so. 😛

If anyone needs roaches for your lizards, let me know. I think I can sustain my girls plus some off of my colony now. 🙂
