I want this species of roach. I found a website that sells them but they are really expensive. If anyone know how to get this species of roach please tell me. Here is the website http://www.insectfarm.com.au/pets.html
the website calls them giant litter bugs.

Good luck in finding them. They have only been legally exported from Australia on a few occasions and are slow to grow and breed. Scott, lucky bast*** that he is, grabbed up a handful at a show a while back, but I've never seen them offered myself.

EDIT: Here's Scott showing off his and some additional info about their rarity outside of Australia: Some threads on this:

Yes, that is my picture, but they're not mine Chip. The roaches were Frank Somma's. I was just there to take some pics of them. Unfortunately, due to space constraints as well as a M-I-L that is paranoid due to a previous long term pest roach infestation, I can't have any roaches where I currently reside :(

When you said "courtesy of Frank" I figured you had picked them up from him and were showing off your new found "toys".
