Shipping feeder roaches in the summer

jonellopez Jul 11, 2006 02:39 AM

Hi Everyone,

My dubia colony is up and running and have been producing babies with no insect feeding herps in my collection yet (I'm planning to get some fat-tail geckos or ackies this summer). I was thinking of selling some of the extra nymphs since there are lots of adults in my colony already. I was wondering what methods do you guys use for shipping these guys during this time of year. I've been shipping snakes in the summer(weather permitting or cold packs of course) for years and was curious if it would be different for the roaches. Since dubias can tolerate temps in the 90's I would think that they would not need ice packs and just have a good insulated box, right? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.
