I was just wondering if someone had a simple idea on how to ship smaller roach nymphs? Deli containers seem to get too moist, and a plain box seems too easy for them to escape.

Thanks, Sean

Deli bowls are fine. Just remember to put some wadded up paper towels in the container. They will absorb the moisture and give the roaches somewhere to hide. Make sure that there are a few air holes and that they are considerably smaller than the smallest nymph. They will go "coast to coast" by USPS Priority Mail.

I use small pieces of eggcrate inside of an old sock tied off tightly at the open end. Instruct the reciever to carefully slide out the eggcrate and carefully turn the sock inside out. This method has worked well for me.
