One thing I’ve learned recently is they don’t need a water bowl or crystals. Just feed them fresh vegetables in conjunction with the rodent blocks. Veggies provide them all the moisture they need, it’s esp easy with firm no-mess ones like pumpkin carrots squash.
Everyone in my house thinks this is a horrible business idea for me. lol
Do it. You could have them in a closet, basement, garage and no one would see them. If they get loose they won’t breed unless your house is about 90degrees all the time. But I breed monitors and have over 50 along with other reptiles and I breed enough roaches to feed over 100 different reptiles and still have enough to sell. I only have one bin of them at the moment so it doesn’t even take much space. I film all my critters and projects. Check them out sometime and you can see how to keep them and different feeder insect colonies that could also make great ideas for you. Superworms and mealworms are even easier to breed and reproduce fast. But I wish you luck and hope you have a great day. I love Chris Hardwicks channel it’s always educational and entertaining 🙋♂️✌️
just ordered some from you cant wait to get them
I've learnt so much over the past few months watching your videos and I want to thank you so much because you have the best knowledge above all the other videos I've seen.
also if you have the time I'd love to ask you a few questions in a private message
I might have to try this
Dubia roaches are the only feeder insect I can seem to keep alive. In fact, I ended up rehoming any of my animals that required live in sex because I got tired of killing off all the insects unintentionally. Dubia roaches are the best feeder insect in my opinion.
I breed all my own feeder insects specially dubias and they breed great. I’ve noticed the higher the temp the better they breed specially around 90degrees. But I breed Savannah monitors and they love them. I have about 50 babies left and they eat tons of insects so it definitely helps breeding my own insects if not I’d be spending a fortune on insects with all the babies specially when I had over 80 baby monitors. But great video and I also use clear enclosures for them and I keep them in my adult monitor enclosure which is a walk in closet on a shelf above the heat lights so it’s always around 90degrees where the roaches are. But they breed great there and only started with a dozen adults and now have couple hundred in about 2 months time. Before that I struggled to get them to breed and ended up feeding them all off to my monitors now I don’t have a problem feeding my monitors they bounce back super fast. I’ve film all the critters I have and all my projects I have going on. Check them out sometime. I wish you the best and hope you have a great day. And I always enjoy watching your channel it’s always educating and entertaining. And I saw your roaches for sale and almost bought some but my local pet store donated a starter colony for my captive bred baby Savannah monitors. I’m definitely going to try those rodent blocks I have some for my rodents in my snake room. Thanks for the advice bud I love your channel.🙋♂️✌️
Just be careful I heard they can cause allergic reactions from prolonged exposure to the roaches specially if you breed them just a heads up.
Pretty cool I raised them once and used a baby chicken water bowl for them with the water beads in it
Can't wait for my next order of 1000g's
This is incredible! I have a roach colony and put so much work into it. Using the glass tanks is a great idea! What do you use at the bottom of your tanks for bedding? Great, great job! I’m going to have to steal your idea. 😂
I added some meal worms and buffalo beetle's doing great together.wanting to add isopods from my yard steamed oats for a bottom layer for everything.
Sick man😁🤙
Definitely worth it I sell about $350 every couple weeks
Hey I commented on one of your older videos I was wondering if you ever thought of putting a paper towel where you put the ceiling plastic that way it can absorb some of the condensation it'll actually keep better humidity that way too new breeder tell me what you think if it would be a good idea or not you could even get the paper towel wet it should actually seal to the actual plastic long as you cut the paper towel a little smaller than the actual plastic that you're putting on the tub
Went a little big on the retic enclosure eh? Too much space scares em you know.
How do you go about, or what is your routine, for adding in new bloodlines to your colony?
my leopard geckos love those, 1$ each local shop
Can you make a updated video on how you possibly could make 2-4k per month with minimum investment with ball pythons. How you would do it.? What morphs etc..
Would love to see it.
Where on line do u sell them plz :3
Do you put insurance and do you do flat rate? How should one charge?
Interesting
Now where can I even ship mine to be cause I have too many
They love watermelon and cantaloupe rinds.
How and where do I go to buy some
What are you using for substrate?
I’ve been breeding for 2 1/2 years, I’ve never touched one, I have 1250 female last count. I sort quarterly.
Seems like my only problem is selling seems there is so much competition now a days
I want to do this but I read you become allergic to them overtime and they already make my sneeze and itxh
Do you find it smells less with the type of bedding you use? I dont use bedding and I feel like I have to clean their cage every 3 months.
I'm looking for Dubias right now if you want to sell some.
Mr Chris where can I go to see your prices on the dubias please?

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures awesome thank u. Is there a way to work a deal on adults so I don't have to wait too long for them to grow up. I started mealworms back in May and have not harvested any. Didn't know it was gonna take so long..lol
My Iocal pet store charges 10-15$ for 10 medium-large roaches 🤦
Mine charges about that much and the roaches aren’t even large:
Great video how do I order some roaches from you?
There's a link under the video to my ad on Morphmarket.
😜🤪😵 yuck I don't like any kinda bugs. Good luck with that adventure.
Hey I have a question, would it still be possible to make 2000$ per month with Dubia roaches in 2024?
You sell them in 100 gram bowls. How many Dubai roaches are in a 100 gram Deli cup?
What is a good colony starting size
The more you start with the faster it will take off.
Hey Chris I recently just got into ball pythons and I’ve watched all your videos trying to learn as much as possible. I have a male Coral Glow Mojave as well as a male Firefly 50% het clown. I’m lost when it comes to thinking of a good female to breed each of them to and I was hoping this is where you could help!
How can I order?
There's a link under the video to my ad on Morphmarket.
Please help!
I was just chargee $52 to ship dubia roaches usps. They dont do live as flat rate anymore
?
If only I didn't have a phobia about bugs.
You better get over it V lol
Is it a concern to have Roaches escape into your house and breed? Those bugs are huge! No matter the money I could make, I would never want them in my house. I would rather stick with snakes. Lucy has such a nice location now. She must feel more secure with the walls of the room against her enclosure. Love your snake room now.
Dubai roaches are bad at climbing, so if you keep them in a big tub they can't get out. If you drop them, they usually play dead, so are easy to catch
They typically won't breed below 86-90 degrees so unless you live in a tropical area and it's super hot in your house they won't breed/infest your home. Also, if they flip on their backs they die.
There are somewhere around 4500 roach species and only 30 infest homes and are considered pests. Dubia roaches don't infest homes easily they take too long to mature and don't thrive well in a typical house since they're tropical and require humidity and heat to thrive. If you lose one chances are when you move whatever it's hiding under you'll find it they don't go far and they don't typically escape they're horrible climbers.
Where do you sell your roaches my colony is about 200,000 right now just don't know where to sell them
Try ebay or Craig's List.
You have another video from two years ago saying you can make two thousand a month selling roaches. Also, only a thousand dollars in cost?
Hey man where can I buy some of your roaches. I just moved and over 3 qauters of my colony died. I'd like to buy a few hundred dollars worth
Here's my ad, message me over there:

Chris i know this is totally off subject. But i had a concern. My ball python hasn’t been drinking water recently. What could be the cause of this????
I have 50bp, and very rarely do I see them drinking.
Have fresh water available for them, a d stop worrying!
They will drink when they need to!
unless your snake looks dehydrated I woudnt worry I have only seen mine drink like 2 times in a year and a half of having her best of luck!
Have you ever tried giving them watermelon??
I have, they liked it less than I expected. Carrots seem ideal, they go bad slowly and I’ve had them drown in wetter food. Definitely found one dead under a blackberry buried headfirst in there.
How do I get roaches from you
You can message me over on Morphmarket. Here's the link with pricing:
www.morphmarket.com/us/c/invertebrates/other-invertebrates/682936
Thank you I sent you a msg on MM
Anyone catch that one pure white one? Leave it to Chris to own a blue-eyed leucistic roach.
I saw a hypo one too.
It's just shed.
When they moult they come out white until their exoskeletons harden
Really wigged me out first time I saw one. Just a fresh moult.
Hmmm seems like a good click bait video lol I've been keeping and breeding Dubia for almost 20yrs. My colony is about 10x yours and if you're truly selling $7,000 worth of dubia, you need to produce WAY more than this? Just my experience
Interesting... Maybe the trick is don't sell too many babies. I've seen people sift out thousands of babies out of their colonies. That wipes out your future production. I'd say I sell almost all adults with very few babies. Seems counter productive to sell off the producing adults, but it's working for me, the thousands of babies in the substrate keeps it going like wild fire.
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Agree with you. Most new people "oversell" and forget it takes about 5-6months for babies to reach adult and produce. I'm selling almost exclusively wholesale to vendors and shops, so maybe that's the major difference. If you're selling retail prices I can see a very large colony making decent income but that can also be very time consuming with answering emails/shipping etc. With my busy schedule, I'ld rather sell 50,000 dubia to a single store in 15mins than sell 100 lots of 500 that could take weeks or months? I mainly breed dubia to feed my own animals, anything extra is nice though
