We have implemented a question and answer board to share our frequently asked questions with the best answers.  We will post questions from our visitor but you can ask questions as well.  Then we can all take a shot at answering those questions and let our visitors pick the answers they find most informative.

I hope that you like this new addition.  Please comment below if you have any suggestions.

Roach Building Almost Complete

Live Roaches

We have expanded our selection of isopods, adding Asian and Spanish Isopods to our farm.  We have also added many new rare, large and feeder roaches to our breeder groups.  Millipedes have also joined our farm and are happily breeding as I write this.  Pillipedes are my favorite.

In all, we have 68 types of roaches, 54 types of Isopods and 8 types of Millipedes.

To accomplish this, we had to add a small building for our live roaches.  It is still being organized but it is heated with 3 types of heat, electric, propane and oil, so that we have backup systems in the event of a storm or power failure.

We also hooked up a warning system that calls, emails and texts me when the temp and humidity levels fall below the perfect habitable zone for live roaches.  If you want to know more about that, just comment below or send me a message.

Here is a shot of the roach building.  The plants in the middle are Peace Lilies, which are great for removing ammonia from the air.  We will be getting more of these for this building and some of our other buildings.

I will list our list of species below.  I will do that because we are always looking for more.  If you have something, not on the list, please contact us with what you have with a price.  You can do that by clicking on the contact form on the left menu of this site.

The red highlighted names indicate that we are looking for more, even though we have active breeding colonies.  Most of these are not yet for sale but they will be coming online over the next few months so stop back in or join our mailing list to get informed as new species are added.

If you do not see it listed, that means that we do not have it and that we may want to buy what you have.  Send us what you have here.

Thank you!!

Ken
