How to ship roaches

[tabor]

Most of my videos focus on scorpions, but I'm branching out to T's and now roaches. I find this to be the most effective way technique!

Let me know what you think

Those are video tape boxes, and they have self stick adhesive on the flaps...not a bad way to ship bugs. I use those same boxes for orders consisting of supplies only.

That said, many customers actually prefer the roach cups...as it allows them to get a look and get comfortable with the roaches, before actually opening the lid. For this first time roach buyer, this is huge.
But you are correct...those deli cups are sweatboxes, and during summer time precautions must be taken to avoid dead loss due to heat.

I ship using the deli cups, but I use larger cups than most, with very large lids. I do this because of a bad experience I had opening a box full of lobster roaches I got from a retailer. Buggers got everwhere...its a good thing I moved out of that place soon after
With the cups, this doesn't happen.


Nice videos, and a nice breeding setup you have there.
