Heres some interesting info regarding the identities of some of the roaches in the hobby shared by @Nicolas Rousseaux, check it out! https://m.facebook.com/cafarnarium/photos/a.502181126566213.1073741829.474797205971272/1172308019553517/?type=3&source=48

Looks like C.magnifica has entered the european hobby, one person in Germany is offering them for sale and will be offering them at an insect fair in Frankfurt apparently. :) Hopefully this means it'll only be a matter of time before they'll enter the US hobby...

It's been almost a year since my P.aegyptiaca females starting laying ootheca, and none have hatched. Now I started with two males, the first one escaped pretty quickly after maturing, and was only with them for a couple of weeks as an adult, maybe less, so it's very possible these ootheca may...

So some of you may know that my population of Cylisticus convexus "Pied" died out unfortunately, due to under-watering. However, a new morph has shown up in one of my other species's enclosure, and it is equally exciting to me! Presenting, Oniscus asellus "Dalmatian": I have found three...

It looks pretty bad, is there anything I can do to help her out? Will she die from this? I had a female Gromphadorhina that had a smaller prolapse, it dried up and fell of after a couple of weeks and she is doing well, will the same happen with this female?

My Rhabdoblatta formosana cage has been stinking up my room lately, and my family members are starting to complain... what can I do to reduce the smell? I'm pretty sure it's coming from the dead bodies in the cage, of which there are a lot of, (old adults, not nymphs or anything). I already...

Purchased a sexed pair of Panchlora sp. "White" from Gil, the communication was great, the roaches arrived on time, and the packaging was excellent. All of the roaches arrived alive and healthy, and he sent a freebie as well! I would definitely do business with Gil again, A+! :D

A few of these have been popping up in my Oniscus colony, funny how lots of interesting color morphs have been showing up in colonies I've had for years! They are a dull orange right now, but hopefully after some selective breeding and culling I can create a bright orange morph! Here are some...

So many people have seen this picture of a beautiful blue Panchlora-like cockroach that is labeled as a Xestoblatta sp, however, I don't think it is. This roach looks like a Blaberid, yes? It looks closely related to Panchlora. However, if the Cockroach Species File is to be believed...

I think I might be, held one of my hissers, and got a buch of blisters on the spot I held it. :( Pretty sure that means im allergic, right? Doesn't happen when I hold my Blaberus, only happens with my hissers, also I can only get the blisters to show up on the back of my hands, not my palms or...

Tried to get on my computer to blog earlier and it had to restart and "Update" windows, which takes hours and doesn't seem to actually do anything really. Anyone else think those updates are stupid? It's been well over half an hour and it is only 25% done doing whatever it's doing.

This thread is for pictures of Tenebrionids, aka darkling beetles. Feel free to post pics of your ones as well! :) Eusattus muricatus: These guys are really cool, I am keeping them in a medium sized container filled with sand and coconut fiber, and they are eating dead leaves, dog...

Anyone know how long these take to hatch? It's been at least 4 months since mine started laying ootheca, and they have yet to hatch. I'm afraid my female is laying infertile ootheca, even though she has males to mate with. Any help or advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Got a pair of these from a trade with Mastigoproctus on AB, (AKA Micheal Dixon, the owner of Mike's House of A Thousand Legs), and they are very nice! I love the red bordering on these guys, hopefully I will be able to breed them! Male: Female:

Did a trade with Joseph, and his end of the trade (a sexed pair of Princisia vanwaerebeki "Big"), arrived safe and sound. He even included a free Ergaula capucina ootheca! Overall he was a pleasure to do business with, and I would do business with him again! :)

Some of my Therea olegrandjeani nymphs have found their way into the T.regularis enclosure beneath them, I was wondering if those two species can hybridize? I will of course try to remove all the nymphs I can find, and if any stay hidden until maturity I can of course remove them quickly, not...

What is the survival rate for these guys? My mom is gonna buy me some of these for my birthday, so if we got a single sexed pair, what are the chances they will both survive to adulthood? Thanks in advance! :)

Here are the species that I currently have for sale, please read all of the Terms & Conditions before ordering! ------------------------------------------------------------- Cockroaches:- 12 Anallacta methanoides (Mauritian zebra-faced roach) Small nymphs: $25 + shipping (First US...

Is it normal to want every single roach I see? I love and appreciate the species I have, I look at them every day and hold several species quite often, but I always seem to want more! Every time I see new roach species I think to myself "yep, I want that species, and that one, ooh, I want that...

Happy new year's guys! Hope you all have a very roach filled 2016! :D
