As someone with zero experience breeding roaches, I have been researching the subject. Seems easy enough, and experienced keepers all swear by them. I particularly want to try lobster roaches (for ackies). However, I consistently come into this warning about the roaches producing toxic gases when kept in crowded colonies. What is that about? The words "toxic" and "gas" should not go with anything that is gonna be kept in my house, hehe.

The only thing i know of that builds up during over-crowding is nitrogen from the build up of waste. Do not quote me on that.

Anyways...Toxic Gas...what gives?
