    Update on the roach. Should I be concerned?

    Could surinam infest others species

    Dry is relative. Everyone has different humidity levels in their houses. Some people have success while others fail using exact same setup and care but different room humidity. You might try setting up a few under exact care as the discoids and see if they survive. It is hard to know for certain...

    Could surinam infest others species

    It is a possibility. If they are indeed Pycnoscelus surinamensis they are parthenogenic and very prolific.

    Blaberus gigatus enclosure advice

    Here's my two enclosures for B. giganteus They are EZY brand 75 qt gasket bins. One is stock from Orin and the other is from PA University. I'd say about 80% have matured with perfect wings. I'll be adding more climbing bark, etc. as the colonies grow

    Blaberus gigatus enclosure advice

    I think that they should molt just fine in there. I'll try to remember to upload a picture of how I have mine when I get off work.

    A tessellata husbandry advice

    multiple spp in one container

    I'm starting to combine again. I used to but after a while it was either cull to keep numbers in check or separate. I don't really sell or have anything to feed. But if you have that many T's all is good!

    multiple spp in one container

    Also, if any species lays ootheca keep watch that they aren't being eaten.

    multiple spp in one container

    If they have the same care it'll work. Keep an eye out for one species outcompeting the others. You may have to refresh the bin sooner. 😁

    maintaining humidity

    50% will still work for a lot of roaches. Sounds like the room may be taking away the humidity, especially if you are using a furnace to warm the house.
