SACRAMENTO—
A Sacramento woman has 700-roaches in her home -- not only did she bring them in, now she can't get rid of them.The insects are called Dubai Roaches. People buy them on places like Craigslist to feed there reptiles. But if the lizards or animals don't like them, the owner is stuck with the bugs and that's exactly what happen.
"There too big that's the only reason he wont eat them"...that's what Jade the bug owner told FOX40 when talking about her pet lizard.
She says she bought a few hundred of the bugs a 2 months ago and now they turned into 700. The Dubia roaches are originally from South America. The males have wings and the females carry around huge sacks full of babies..which means - you guessed it they multiply a lot.
But Jade the bug owner doesn't want, so not the roaches are back on the market..."I'm asking $100, but I dropped that from $300".
The state requires bug breeders to get a permit, still if the roaches like this get loose they could cause a few problems.
Dr. Lynn Kimsey "The Bug Lady" at UC Davis told FOX40..."they might establish...that's how we get big pest in houses sometimes they get into agricultural area's".
Still Jade the bug owner is hoping her guests will be gone soon and if she can't get cash for them, she might consider giving them away.
SO...DO YOU WANT THEM????
