So I went to my LPS to get the usual pick-up of 1k crickets to feed the hoard of animals my girlfriend and I have and the owner shows me these huge, very cool looking roaches he had. He brought a small colony out of the back room because he thought I might be interested (he knows I'm into bugs) after convincing my g/f into the idea I got 22 large nymphs of Archimandrita tesselata for $20! this was the first time I have ever seen this type of roach and they are impressive! With the size I got I should have adults within 2-4 months

you definately got a great deal there by sounds of it :)..peppered roaches are real nice roaches to and best of all get huge 

definitely a good deal...one of my favs
watch out, they can flutter-fly pretty far
