I’ve always wanted a Dubia Roach breeder so I need some clarifications. Thanks!
1. Is it true that cheaper deals usually give you only males? I found one for 100 roaches for 10$
2. Any recommendations on which to buy? Link please.
3. Any tips-
Thanks Guys!!!

I don't like the place, but if I was you I would look on Arachnoboards.com. Alot of good sellers there. I'd look up hisserdude to start.

Try going to a reptile expo, they sell breeding starters there. Males have wings, females don't.

I used Dubi Deli and you can purchase i think up to 3 sizes to try, only laying shipping which for me was i think $7. Get the biggest sizes and the biggest won't take long at all to mature. that's what i did and within a month had breeding dubias. Cheap and effective lol. Also, i recieved like 10 roaches...maybe like 12. I know it was more than i was expecting.

Keeping:
Camponotus subbarbatus
Camponotus pennsylvanicusx3 (founding)
Dorymyrmex bureni
Formica pallidefulva x3
Formica subsericea x4
Tetramorium immigrans

Have kept many other ant species but now keep over 100 tarantulas and other inverts! Mantids, centipedes, and scorpions to name a few 😁
