Here are a few species I have been interested. I was interested if anyone actually raises them?They are on roach crossing but I am having my doubts as to if he has these. Schultesia lampyridaformis and Anallacta methanoides are two of my dream species. Anyone have them?

I am curious if anyone has heard if the American cockroach society or an entemologist, has verified if the pantanal roach is the newly described Eublaberus serranus?  http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1676-06032015000200101.    

I first started into roaches with feeders for my pacman frogs. Suprisingly, they didn't like them and they all died but one. The roaches remained. I have decided I have enjoyed my roaches more than any pet I have had. So it's time to branch into the pet roach category. Any suggestions out there...

 I have been thinking about adding another invert to my slow grow collection. I have a lot of Eublaberus sp. pantanal and Elliptorhina javanica to go around and thought a colony of assassins would enjoy eating them. I have a 20 gallon high fish tank with hisser proof screen lid that will soon be...

I have been finding the occasional hisser (Elliptorhina javanica) male missing all it's entannae and tarsi. They are males and still alive. I see this in my pantanal bin but that is the nymphs cannabalizing the old males. Any suggestions? I didn't think hissers cannabalize. 

Here's the inside view of my pantanal bin.

I love my Eublaberus sp. "pantanal". All you need is 3 inches of moist cocofiber and some pieces of bark for the adults to climb on. I have mine in a 18 quart sterlite bin with small holes drilled in the lid. I feed them oats, flake food and super cheap cat food. They never eat enough fruit or...

Do only the adults produce these odors? I noticed only my adult Eublaberus "pantanal" produced the smell and was curious if this the same for all?

Been looking at these for a bit. I am wanting something small, non climbing nymphs and doesn't need heated. Anyone got any info?

Here's some pics of my 2 t's. Aphonopelma seemani sub-adult female and Hapalopus sp. "Columbia" small sling. 

In Dec. I got 27 mixed E. javanica nymphs. As you can tell, they are doing well. This sheet of bark is one of four and all are covered. The plastic  plants are loaded with nymphs that I have regularly fed to my bearded dragon. I am shocked how fast they grow. 

I have finally had my first dubia mature a few months ago. One male and two females. One female has been matured since march. How ever o have yet to get any young. They are being heated and fed citrus from time to time. Is this normal? How long will the mature adults live?

I am curious what the best way to feed these two wc gals. The tiniest bit of food molds very quick. i have them in a ventilated plastic shoe box with some dry coco fiber and dead oak leaves. Also a small lid of water.

I keep my Elliptorhina javanica in a 20 gallon high with a screen lid and a heat lamp. Lately it smells of vinegar. It is kept dry with sheets of oak bark, dead leaves and a thin layer of coco fiber. There is about 50 adults, so plenty of room. The smell didn't appear until I switched from a 75...

So I am now west of Orlando. The rental house borders an overgrown area. There are dead (from spraying) Surinam around the porch. Any tips on where I need to go to find some live ones? Spraying a house generally is a few foot out from the perimeter. I'd say I need to go out of the yard.

My lobsters have been gone since the end of June and I still am finding them. One outside while weed eating and one just ran across the kitchen floor! What the crap! I am guessing I missed some when I removed the stuff from the tub at the back door.

Does the defensive odor of these deter anything?

I have a small colony of Eublaberus sps. "Pantanal"(serranus?). I got them as 1-1 1/2inch nymphs in October. The first adults molted in February. The past few several weeks I have found the occasional eaten/dead male. I found at least 7. Today I found one still alive but they ate off his...

So Considering I have roaches coming out the wazoo, I thinking about a tarantula or three. I am looking for some recommendations. Aphopelma chalcodes, A. hentzi, Lasidora parahybana, Brachypelma albopilosum. I do not handle so that's not a factor. I do not want a pet hole though. Any thoughts?
