Default Gauging interest...4000 lobster roachs + custom breeder tank BIRMINGHAM

SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY

Hi there, as im currently selling off my collection and going to be breeding royal morphs I will no longer have any need for my lobster roach colony.

The colony has approx 4000 medium-adult roachs and hundreds of new babies are born every month providing an almost unlimited supply of fresh healthy roaches for a small-medium collection of insect eating exotics.
This can save the potential buyer hundreds of ££££ per year in animal food. It is a huge colony reading to go, no waiting around for months for the colony to become established.

Due to me having too many roaches at one point I split the colony in half so it is in two tanks as to lessen the overcrowding. Both tubs will be given to buyer upon collection.

The main tank is a very expensive tank, it is top opening, has mesh for ventilation and a sliding glass top. The whole tank has been blacked out with black tiles cut to size. A top of the range 'Living Earth' thermostat and brand new 'Habistat' heat mat are connected and keep them at optimum reproducing temperatures.

I must stress, this colony pumps out a LOT of baby roachs so make sure you have enough reps to feed them to or you will soon be over run!

These are top quality roaches and mature faster then any other species. They are fed on the best foods which the buyer can feel free to keep as I will no longer have any use for them.
They have been fed on fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, oats, weetabix, mouse mix, dog biscuits, honey, orange jelly, asda flapjacks, I also dust the food with calcium and multivitamins. I dont know anybody else that feeds their roachs as well as I do and it sure does show in the quality and health of the colony.
I recommend giving the colony hydration through use of jelly as I was going through one 500ml tub of bug gel in under a week!!

Everything you need is included, just plug in and go!
A lot of time and effort has gone into this colony and it will help reduce costs during this *credit crunch*.
Im asking a price of £350 for everything.
This may sound like a lot, but once you consider the normal going rate for 100 mixed is around £8-£9 and there are around 4000 medium-large roaches you will realise what a great price this is, especially with everything you need included!
I will add some more pictures when I take some.
PM me if your interested, DO NOT CLOG UP THE THREAD WITH MESSAGES, PM ME!

Please remember there are hundreds huddled in the corners as they have nowhere else to hide!
