I'm in middle of re-locating my colonies while I do some renovations on their housing. You can imagine how much fun it is to move 200+ roaches. D:

Is it true cockroaches can carry it?

Lately, for my hisser colony, I've had to throw in a pie pumpkin EVERY NIGHT, and it's gone the next morning. XD I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing, I'm not losing any money because all my feeding supplies are free...

I've got to go to bed, but tomorrow I should have the shocking results! :o

Does it affect the shape of roach wings when they molt?

K, one day, at my first reptile expo 2 months ago, I saw some roaches for sale at the back of the center. I asked if they were hissers, as they looked quite bulky and lacked wings. The man told me to "read the card," and I discovered that hissers weren't the only pet cockroach. I begged my...

Do we have any that aren't pests? I just found what I think may be a roach underneath a piece of astro turf. It can't be more than 1/3 of an inch long.

I noticed that milliseconds before my B. giganteus and death's head's defense smells hit me, I hear a hiss, and sometimes a series of hisses, before hand. Is this them pumping out the smell? If not, how exactly do they get the smell out into the air so fast?

I found this crawling across a pine needle-laden trail while searching for antlions.

I found 4 "pits" in my neighbor's yard. Do antlions exist in Michigan? I tried to dig them up, but to no finding.s x.x

My mom won't let me put hamburger meat, cooked OR raw, in my orange head tank to curve their appetite. Is beef jerky okay?

K, so one day at my friend Gigi's house, while her brother and I were out looking for snakes, we decided to walk over to the granite cliff in the middle of the forest. So while we're walking down, I constantly am being bombarded with spider webs, so the whole way down I'm screaming "SPIDERS!!!"...

With the few recent problems arising *semi-deformed wings on my death's heads, mysterious dark individuals appearing in my discoids, and some baby discoids who may be dubias and vice versa* I just want to check on my methods to make sure my roaches will be healthy and happy. Giant cave roaches...

I need the scientific explanation of how and why some cockroaches can climb and others can't for my science fair project.

K, so tomorrow I'm going to try to convince my teacher to swap my Honor's Chem science fair project to which barrier works best for keeping roaches in their tank. I'm going to explain about the tarsi and everything, that it would effect alot of people, and that scientists studying P. americana...

One of my new death's heads molted last night, and now that he has "dried" I've noticed that the last 1/2 inch of his wings are bent down. What could've caused this? Genetics? environment? DX

I thought it was about time I did one of these. And, I must say, I am more than pleased! We did a trade: a book of mine and $5 for 15 peppered roaches. The roaches came on time, packed to perfection, and he even threw in an extra leetle guy! 5 Stars for Acro! :D

I found this and another guy mixed in with my "discoids." IS this a dark discoid, or a sneaky death head?

K, I've always wanted to find some of these marvelous around my house, but I've NEVER. Found a cockroach wild in my life. How do I attract them? Should I make that home-made trap and see what I get?

K, I recently did a trade with a fellow member who sent me some discoids and dubias. However, she said that the discoids had a few newborn babies who accidentally fell in to the container with the dubia nymphs. How can I tell the difference right now!?
