Aaron Pauling question

[Tainted]

I was thinking of FINALLY trying out some roaches. 

I've had my dragons for about four months now and I've just been playing with the idea of roaches, as they totally creep me out.  Every once in awhile I'd go on line and go ogle image them to try to desensitize myself from their looks. My dragons are still small and are eating 3/8" crickets..so luckily I can start out with small roaches.

Hopefully, if I can get used to them, looking at the large full grown roach will be okay with me in the future..

But my question is this:  I was going to order 200 small lobsters from Aaron Pauling..and I was wondering what kind of container they come shipped in, and if the container is clearly marked as containing roaches.

I ask because I just moved in with my boyfriend about a year ago (living in his house), and I just don't want him to protest it right away. I thought at first I can pass them off as "some beetle" dragons like. And after awhile, once he's used to it..introduce the term "ROACH" lol..

if i remember correctly the box wasnt labeled as roaches it was just a box as if u would receive crickets and also do u kno lobsters can climb anything nd can fly? have u researched other roaches? some look less roachy like the turks/rusty reds/b latteralis (sp on the last one)

Detailed research? No. I have just been reading info on this forum about them..

But I keep getting them all confused. I thought the males flutter fall. Gah! I would totally freak if a roach started flying around me.

I was also under the impression that only adult roaches would fly..and that I wouldn't have to worry too much about that when they're still small.

the turks and lobsters have wings dubias dont...lobsters and turks breed fast! dubias not so much...lobsters climb any surface...turks and dubias dont and about the wings on the lobsters and turks, from my experience with turks they never flew...idk about lobsters since i dont have them since they r able to climb any surface nd scare me

Okay that's good to know.

Well, something about Dubias totally freak me out..I think its that little halo helmet thing on their heads..er..

So I may be interested in buying small Turks then.  Do you suggest a site to buy from?  Because I don't see Pauling selling them.
