I was thinking someone should start a cockroach 4H club. 4H is basically where you raise and breed animals that are exact breed standard to continue a pure bloodline of animals that also represent breed standard. The best breeding pairs are usually valuable and so are there offspring that are...

I'm not sure if it's safe to mix them wanted to ask. Wanted to keep these as pets but they'd have to share the same tank. G oblononata female P vanwierbeki b+w male

This pertains to hisser's found in the hobby. 1. What are the largest Hisser species? 2. What are the smallest? 3. What species come in black? 4. What species have the boldest stripes? 5. What species is the most colorful?

In my small dubia I've only had mature males so far, 3 brothers. In my tank I also have one unrelated adult male, I know him because he is oddly colored. I was expecting to see the males fighting, but they peacefully co-exist and even rest near eachother like they did through nymph hood. The...

I have seen multiple times in my small colony the same female roaches mating again every few months to once a year. I don't know why, but they all still produce healthy offspring. Someone should update this information about roaches only mating once, especially dubia, it's just not true...

I can't find any species on the Internet in the Blaptica family except Dubia. Are there any other roaches in that family available in the roach hovby, and can dubia hybridize with any roaches we keep?

I only thought Dubia mate once and that's it. I am doing selective breeding and I had this male and female together to mate. I caught them mating and they were copulating for over an hour and after seperation the female was fatter and the male thinner. A week later I caught the same pair mating...

I have been monitoring my pregnant female dubia for some time. She has been pregnant for a while and successfully rotated her ootheca. She is huge but for the past week her rear end has remained open. Nothing is sticking out but you can see something white inside, I guess the ootheca. Each day...

It's amazing how some people act when they see a roach! :D

I know male dubia will jump off your hand and flutter a few feet, but I have one female dubia who jumps off my hand and lands on the ground. Usually females are somewhat sluggish due to their heavier body frame, but this female is large and more wide than long I guess giving her more stamina...

Why has it been impossible to find videos and photos online of wild stock of our feeder roach species? Surely they still exist in the wild! I would love to see wild dubia, hisser's, and b. giganteus!

Went to a Reptile Expo and the sellers were nice enough to let me search through all the dubia they were selling. Found a orange-yellow female nymph, (99% of the ones that color were male), and I got a male "calico" nymph. I call it calico, because it has every color dubia come in mixed all over...

I have older dubia nymphs, and last molt I was finally able to see a difference in gender, males had the elongated wing buds and females did not. I thought I had read only sub adult nymphs have this. One of my male nymphs shed and I was expecting to see a mature adult male emerge, but instead he...

It seems confusing knowing if you have a pure or hybrid species of Blaberus. A few supposed hybrids are sold, and the fact even pure species have a small percent of natural variation confusing novices further thinking they have a hybrid when they don't. Here's my solution. For those of you who...

Back in 2007 I received either Craniifer or Fusca roach nymphs, one was a bit lighter in color than my other ones, had a bad limp, and was smaller than the rest, it was really young the size of my thumbnail. After being with me a few weeks it grew, and around 5 months later on October 13, 2007...

I joined a website last year called Project Noah. What you do is take photos of plants, animals, and fungi in your area and upload the images to the site, all your images are saved and become your spottings. You just input on the map your location you too the photo. It's so much fun and people...

I miss these gals!

My Dubia nymphs are pretty large I think they are subadults they are close to same size as adult dubia. In my tank I have 1 adult female and 2 adult males. My only female got pregnant by a 2 year old male, yes males can live more than a year and still breed! I was online looking how to sex...

I witnessed a medium-large dubia nymph molt from start to finish. When it first emerged it was swollen and the body length was very long (it looked like an adult female size). I checked on it hours later, it was now flat, and the body length had shrunk to half its length it wasnt as long...

The nymphs are bright yellow and the adults are lighter colored! Where are these found I have never seen this before? http://tuatera.com/foro/fichas-de-cria-de-presa-viva/cria-de-blaptica-dubia/
