Offer: Lobster Roaches (Nauphoeta cinerea)

[MrsWTownsend]

I am having a super special on lobster roaches if anyone is interested~ I seriously need to thin out my herd. You pay shipping, I'll take care of the rest.

Care sheet I found online: http://www.nyworms.com/lobsroachcare.htm

How much for shipping. I might be interested in a couple weeks. I need to beef up my colony

[MrsWTownsend]

I guess PM me your zip code and I can let you know~ probably the same or close to what it cost to send the pede to me. I don't think sending 2 day would be a good plan.

Your a bug guy, what do you think?

[RosenKrieger]

The pede was around $25 for overnight shipping. 2 day priority is considerably less. Pede's are probably the only bug you take a risk with shipping 2 day because they can dehydrate pretty quickly. I've had roaches in the mail for a week and they were all fine. Depending on how small of a box you pack them in, it can be as low as $8 or so. If the box is big, the price goes up exponentially, it seems, for every bit over that flat rate box size.

The lobsters don't do well in hotter temps so I guess it would largely depend on the weather on my end~ we're starting to warm up here so I'm worried about them cooking sitting in a warehouse somewhere... IDK I'm all for whatever is cheap and still gets them there alive. 2 day probably isn't a bad option.

Gina - I'd love to take some from you :)

[RosenKrieger]

2 day priority is usually fine. With express and priority shipping, they are usually out of town within the day.

[MrsWTownsend]

I'm sure if I just put them in a box with some paper and then tape up all of the edges they will make it to any destination just fine.
