Just got my Turk Roaches

[Pepper]

Okay so my 1000 Large and 1000 tiny Turk roaches jut arrived from Bug Pros All of them were alive, I've got separate totes for babies and adults...but...as I was emptying the adults out, I didn't see a single male..all were dark females...Do you think there in there and I just don't see them? Or is it possible for the company to get rid of the males!?! The whole point of getting these were for breeding! That won't happen without boys!

The large are not adults they are subadults, give it a month and your have adults.

okay, so they all look the same when they are sub adults? I've seen a few that are pitch black with wings(females?) and the rest are half brown half black.

Males are tan and winged

Males are tan and winged and can fly well. Of course they dont get their wings until after the final instar, when they molt into adults. Keep the cages covered so when they molt out they wont fly away.
