WHO WE ARE

Hi there! We're Chris and Mel! Substrate Wranglers & Insect Relations Specialists

 

Out of all the humans on the planet, somehow we, Mel and Chris, managed to bump into each other in the virtual realm of Neverwinter back in 2016. We were just two gamers in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, slaying monsters, dodging lag, and unknowingly building the kind of connection that levels up way beyond XP. Different states, same guild. Also, different hairstyles! I have enough for two, Chris has… let’s call it “aerodynamic advantage.” And yep, different takes on pickles. (One of us worships them. The other would rather face a spider boss barehanded.)

​

What brought us together? Bugs, surprisingly.
Chris was already a bug enthusiast, and I had a knack for snapping glam shots of insects like they were on the red carpet. In 2017, we started breeding a few discoid roaches as a hobby... just twenty of them. But, turns out, roaches love romance too. They multiplied fast. Like, really fast!

​

By 2019, Luna Roaches was officially born and so was a crunchy, skittery business we’re proud to call our own.

We raise our discoids with as much care as we put into our gaming builds: high-quality inputs, optimized environments, and a lot of nerdy love. Over the past six years, we’ve studied, tinkered, and tested to get things just right so that every colony is happy, but most importantly, we built Luna Roaches with one big goal: to treat our customers the way we’d want to be treated. That means transparency, respect, and a whole lot of gratitude.

​

At Luna Roaches, we believe in doing things the natural way, the honest way, and the “call us if you need roach parenting tips” way. If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the substrate curtain: Hi, it’s just the two of us! If you’re here, thank you! You’re the reason we get to keep doing this strange, wonderful thing!
