Turkistan Roaches x 25 various sized roaches

Turkistan Roaches (Blatta lateralis) are also known as red runners they get this name because they are reddish in colour and very fast moving!

Buying Roaches online is a lot easier than breeding your own as you dont have the hassle or the smell but that said if you do wish to establish yourself a colony of roaches quickly then the Turkistan roaches are the ones to go for as they breed prolifically. You will need high temperatures and high humidity though meaning they will not be able to reproduce if they escape into your house so you have no worries there.

If you do buy these turkistan roaches online to breed from them make sure the breeding container has a secure lid as the adult males can fly short distances, certainly far enough to fly out of an open storage tub. 

The Turkistan Roach certainly earns its reputation as a red runner, when kept warm enough they certainly move very fast although they are incapable of climbing smooth surfaces. If you release a few turkistan roaches into the vivarium to feed your reptile they will instantly dart around the floor looking for somewhere dark to hide. This rapid movement certainly stimulates the laziest of reptiles into a feeding response!

In this tub you will get 25 various sized turkistan roaches, these means they will not be newly hatched or small roaches  they will be adults or a bit smaller standard size is approximately between 1 - 3cm in length and you will get a variety of turkistan roaches within this size range.

Turkistan Roaches (red runners) are not a UK invasive or pest species, they are not capable of harming your pet reptile in anyway and make a great diet for your pet lizard.
