I now have couple of nymphs available for trade. I only plan on trading them with native species of roaches that I don't have in my collection so PM me if you have some cool natives to trade with.

 
This species doesn't secrete a defensive chemical like the skunk roach, does it?

I thought they didn't, until one of mine musked in the container I had it in for 3 days. Apparently it takes a lot of effort to get them to produce the defensive odor. lol

 
I assume it was an adult, yeah? I'm interested in getting some specifically because they don't appear to burrow and move slow, unlike lateralis and lobsters which are flighty, so they'd be easier to wrangle. But I don't have any cool natives to trade :huh:

Yep, it was an adult.

They usually move slow, but when they run they can be really fast. Also, nymphs climb over vaseline quite easily so you'll need a secure cage for these guys.
