I'm wanting to start a Dubia Roach colony, so I'm looking for a little culture to start for my self. If you have some to spare and live in or around Tucson let me know. 

Thank you.

Try your local small pet stores. The one in my town sells roaches for 25 cents so i was easily able to start my colony for around 15 20 dollars. Hopefully someone has some to spare for you

Yeah I have tried most of the local places that I thought might sell them and even the ones who I thought might not. Back in the day they were easy and cheap to order online but I was needing them in a sort of rush lol. thank you though, I'll still keep trying local though.

there is a site called backwaterreptiles.com and you can buy starting colonies from them pretty cheap it just gets more expensive the bigger sized roaches you go. so if you're willing to wait for them to grow then that could be an option. 500 roaches sized 1/8" to 3/8" is $53.99 I don't know about shipping though but even then i consider that a decent deal for roaches
