up to 100 give or take.. once the colony is established enough your baby should be around 5-6 months.. and that will increase the size, and reduce the amount of roaches consumed..

Wait until you see new adults.. Once you see that.. then start out slowly... new colonies really need at least 3 months to get going.

Try to keep 1 male for each 3-5 females...

Yes, that is your breeding stock.. if you have at least 1 male to as many as 10 females you'll have new babies.. I prefer a higher ratio, so 1:3-5 is good for me.
I did not get my roaches when I was in Charlotte the other weekend, so I am going to have to make a trip to you sooner than later Janie. How many do you think I should order to start, I have Mrs. Piggy I am feeding so I will need lots of babies being born.

At least 2oo.
Just have Jason ship them to me, in your name.. I'll let you know when they arrive, and keep them until you can come for them.

I started these in February I believe. I got impatient at first and fed off a lot of the bigger ones. I've now left it be for a few months(minus some nymphs for the geckos) and it seems to be coming along nicely. I have TONS of nymphs! Here's my set-up. I have an 18 gallon tote. I hot-glued egg cartons together. A papertowel roll. Some tops off of the gallons of salad dressing(I work at Subway that's where I got these) Some screen.(for the ventilation on the top. I use a heating pad(w/o auto shut off) and a light with a 25 watt blacklight bulb in it. I feed roach chow, oranges and greens. THey are very easy to care for and they don't stink at all. I keep them in a closet so you wouldn't even realize they were here.
