hi, does anyone know where I could obtain Giant Burrowing cockroaches? I've been looking and looking to no avail. Well, there was this one place but I'm not spending an insane amount of money on a roach. Any help or suggestions are welcomed. thanks...

As far as I know, since it's an Australian animal, it's illegal to import them into the USA. If someone in the US has them, they were either smuggled or they had to get an insane amount of permits &/or permission from the Australian government.

I am also very interested in obtaining one or two, but I'm going to wait and see if they become more easily avalible in a few years. I've heard people are breeding them in Europe and Japan...
