Hi I'm looking for some pallida roaches in the UK but failing miserable can anybody help I'm happy to buy or possibly swap etc Thanks

So after much trying I've finally produced some orange dalmations 🎊🎉 I initially got lots of baby oranges and baby dalmations then A LOT of wild types but then I got ODs 😁 I'm going to take the ODs out and start a new colony then move over any others as I see them I can't post pics as...

So my yellow colony are thriving now and sort of getting closer to what I want but while colour sorting my 3 dubia colonies the other day I noticed a lot of stripy ones (pic doesn't do them justice at all due to resized etc) which I quite liked so I separated them out and realised there were...

Update got my first adult 😁  Well it's the first one I've seen so I'll have a gently look through later to check as they're were 7 nymphs various sizes but several big ones and they've all been growing very fast but wasn't expecting adults just yet  They're much prettier in the flesh as it...

So I managed to top up my rotted wood box the other day plus I've got caches of more in collected stacks/piles in the private forest I have access to  That's a 6' square box 3' high but let's be honest you can never have too much rotted wood  This is a hollow Moss covered (inside and...

Been asked about fixing the tube in place and some other stuff so posting a few more pics  SB 

Quick update I built a leaf litter box cage outside Each side of the box holds approx 2300 litres so I'm doing ok and shouldn't run out next year 😁  It's 9' long 6' wide 3' high with a divider in the middle SB 

A couple more  SB 

Feeding all my Ts earlier and tried to get some pics but no-one was cooperating but I'll post a few anyways apologies for the quality  SB 

I got my first beetle larvae last year 10 L3 MTU and I'd read about supplemental feeding so tried it and considering my larvae were already L3s it still worked very well my smallest larvae pre pupation was over 50gms my biggest nearly 70gms and the 3 males that hatched were huge  I also...

So Rehoused the DCs as they're surprise surprise breeding quite well Might actually split them as didn't realise just how many there were till I moved them but they're ok for now  I always think that DCs are one of the best pods for display and especially as a first pod as they eat pretty...

I read a lot about wing damage with orange Heads and realised the other day I've never had any of that problem as all my adults are perfect  Which I'm assuming is due to the bark cave and layered bark pieces providing many hiding places plus deep substrate and finally a continuous high protein...

So I've noticed in this new generation of adults some variable markings appearing which I'm sure others must of had too but I'm considering isolating these adults in the next generation when there will be more of them and trying to breed the variation which is a joined up question mark which I...

So it's that time again anyone with pods (and other insects) will understand collecting leaf litter I collected 12 very very tightly compressed (solid) sacks last year and I've only got 1 left and I've got A LOT more Pods (and Roaches/Beetles etc) so this year I'm collecting about 20 as if I...

Quick update on the forest scorplings I've lost a few (only the smallest ones) which I'm assuming is to be expected but I'm quite happy with their progress and there are several much bigger ones which I'm assuming are female but if any Scorpion people want to educate me please educate away...

So I gave my dubia Colony the gel version of my dry food for a change I've not bothered for a while (honestly just laziness as I'm that busy and my collection is massive now) and I'd forgotten how much they like it so I should be bothered to make it up more often as it keeps for ages  in the...

Thanks mate and here's a pic that the chap I'm getting the nymphs off sent me of one of his adults  I think it's a really pretty roach can't wait to get my nymphs just hope they grow as quick as my Tesselata  SB 

I make my own beetle jelly and have experimented quite a lot with both single and multiple fruit blends and I've offered several different ones at the same time to see the preferences  My findings are far from scientific it's just simply my own observations  I also don't use any sugar in my...
