Welcome! Southern New Jerseyan over here. Good luck with your roach escapades!

Mine is Yanma :3

They feed from the mother?? Like, she's giving them something from her body? I can't imagine roaches produce milk. That's crazy cool! I was interested in getting them before but now I'm almost coveting them.

I've not seen either of these species before. I'm especially intrigued by the T. porcellana. At first glance I thought it was a snail. Really interesting and cute body-shape! Tell me more about them. How large do they get on average? Are they quick runners? Do they do anything that makes them...

I 100% recommend it as it's the best place to connect to the invert community. You can find Kyle's discord server link on his Roach-Crossing website and I can PM you a link to the all-bugs server!

We don't have casual conversations here on the forum very much, so let's change that! Please tell us which genera or specific species of cockroach you like the most and why. Info-dumping is highly encouraged - I'd love to see this thread generate a healthy amount of discussion. The whole point...

Beetles seem hard to come by. I tried looking for scarab species for my cousin and couldn't find many. The best source I'm aware of for finding people to buy beetles from is the invertebrate discord servers. I know Kyle (Roach Crossing) some times auctions some really nice looking beetles so...

If they started dying off soon after you received them, then they likely caught something from before you got them. If you can share a picture of the 'paste' you're describing then we can help identify it. You described the person you purchased them from as a feeder breeder, which makes me...

Kudos to keepers such as yourself that provide an enriching amount of food. Many have reported it isn't necessary, but it doesn't hurt them either and I'm sure they're thankful for the many flavors! Mine just get dog food and apple 😅 I noticed nigra are pretty picky. They love apple but refuse...

Sweet! Thanks for sharing. That panchlora bundle I got from Kyle will finally come of use now that I have a V. chromatus sling 😁

Welcome!

It's terrible seeing them like that. Sorry for your upsetting experience.. It doesn't seem like any outside source could have induced their deaths, so don't doubt your husbandry. Please continue to keep and love roaches. :)

Firstly, I'd like to commend you on listing every single thing the roaches have been exposed to and the sources of each - it really helps paint a picture for us. The first thought I had was pesticide poisoning. These are all symptoms of nerve damage that many insects experience from pesticides...

NOOOO now I have to post more! Jk that makes me so happy tysm 😭 Wow yours look so vibrant and healthy! I don't have nearly that many adults so I don't get to see them like that much.

I literally just threw mine in filtered coco fiber with leaf litter lool

Welcome! Glad to have more roach people around. :)

When I first brought mine home I only had a handful of individuals and I remember seeing them snack on the apple bits I put in there so I do believe they surface from time to time! Like every other roach they'll be far more active in the dark/night time. You did??? I had no idea my website was...

Can't say I have not done the same :LOL:

Dude iphones have 3 cameras and not one of them will do what I want it to
