Hi, this morning i noticed one of my L. verrucosa trying to shed. Three hours later, it hasn't made any progress... I misted the container again in hopes of that helping, it is usually pretty humid in there though. Picture is attached below. Any advice is welcome 😕 ...

Hi all! I am interested in obtaining a few Polyphaga saussurei I was curious if anyone has any and what they're pricing them at? They seem hard to find, so any info anyone could provide is appreciated! I'd also consider purchasing some large nymphs/young adults of Simandoa Conserfariam if...

I'm currently looking for a few (3-5, depending on price) BDFBs. They're a really cool species and I'd love to add them to my collection! Please let me know if you have any for sale 😃 Thanks!

Hey everyone!  I have two baby Simandoas and I just got them some magnolia leaves for their enclosure. Does anyone have any recommendations on if there are better leaves to use for them? They're still nymphs. one shed once but that's it. Any general advice on what to feed growing Simandoas? 

Hi all! I realized that I haven't introduced myself yet. I've been into the roach hobby for a little over a month so far. I really love learning about them! Right now I have two adult hissers and two Simandoa Conserfariams nymphs. The adults I bought as is, because I didn't have that much...
