    Flytyer, these are for you but I am sharing the pics-

    I have been asked on many occasions to see what my roach bins look like, and they are all very similar with that they have more or less or no egg carton in them, and some of them may have a different substrate mix in the bottom, but otherwise similar: ...MORE to follow: :excl:

    DISCOVERY:

    So here is my short story: Due to the size of my roach/arachnid/reptile collection, it can be difficult to thoroughly maintain every enclosure as often as I want to (thoughy I do so more often than many people I have found). Regardless (or regarding this fact) I have had various levels of...

    Phrynus barbadensis female molting

    Not very often you actually see this happen- particularly on an adult that had produced eggs before: It seemed to respond to the light so I left it alone after a couple of quick photos.... would have liked to have had a better camera on hand for this event. :(

    Sense of humor when it comes to barriers:

    While I have rarely had any escape, it has ordinarily been my fault.... Apparantly my wife does not find it nearly as humorous as I do that we can be watching TV in the late evening and have a Panchlora nivea come fluttering into the living room and land on the TV screen.... I thought it was...

    Non native species banning:

    There is still an ever present movement in the government to ban non-native livestock, be they reptiles, tropical fish, insects (your roaches), and others. The keystone to thier legal strategy is to start with the most commonly bred non native reptiles- snakes, pythons in particular. You may...

    Pill millipedes in captivity:

    Sadly, there are really cool species of bugs out there that flatly do not thrive (or even live) in captivity and in my opinion should absolutely not be collected. A fine example of this is any variety of pill-millipedes. Many are very colorful and beautiful; fantasic in form, and yet nobody...

    It was brought ot my attention that some types of roaches are seemingly the only species in a genus because online you might find little reference to any other. A fine example is Blaptica dubia. So this thread might reference resources on where to look if you wanted to find out if and what...
