I have become very interested in the various mimic species of cockroaches. I believe I am going to have to begin a collection of mimic species. Am I forgetting any available species? Red-head ( O. Deusta) Fire fly mimic (S. lampyridiformis) Pacific beetle mimic (D. punctata) Therea sps...

Not quite enjoying my motionless pantanal enclosure, hoping the adults will be more active once they molt. Any species that don't run and hide at the slightest movement? In case you wondered, pantanal can see red lights.

I have noticed the several pet species that have not been identified formally by science. Even the little Kenya not even a genus. What are the missing requirements to get these named? It's been a long time since my four years of a biology degree lol. I know a scientist most publish the finding...

I have 110 Eublaberus pantanal nymphs. They are in a 20 gallon high, 3 inch plus moist coco fiber, Three quarters covered with plexiglass, heat lamp keeps it at around 80 ish during the day. 72 at night. I keep fish food and oats in front of them, dead oak leaves and oak bark. I add various...

After having my pantanals for a few weeks, I have some random observations to share. I am keeping them in a 20 gallon high aquarium in 3 inches of coconut fiber. On top of it is oak leaves and sheets of oak bark. They(110 of them) huddle buried in a ball in the middle of the tank. From this is a...

I am wanting to get a species of roach that would work best as feeders for my Mediterranean geckos. These geckos are small, wild caught, climb on glass and prefer to stay at the top parts of their exoterra. as you can imagine the roach should be a climber and not a burrowing type. These geckos...

Or three days in the mail? I got 110 eublaberus "pantanal" and they smell like a wet ferret. I hope it's not that noticeable in the 20 gallon or my wife may object.

So since roaches seem to be commonly kept in containers measured by quarts how many roaches per quart? For example I am getting some eublaberus pantanal, how many adults could be housed in a 16 quart container? I realize this may vary depending on depth of substrate, climbing species or...

Are night time temp drops ok on breeding roaches? The temps in my house are usually 75-78 but seems to fall to 72 at night. I just ordered some eublaberus sps. "Pantanal" and it seems that their min breeding temp is 75.

Yucca pods, persimmons, blackberries, prickly pear fruit and cactus paddles, winged sumac berries, honeysuckle flowers, dogwood flowers, sassafrass leaves......I guess the possibilities are endless?

I am planning on raising feeders for my gulf coast toads and Mediterranean geckos. Are there any foods I should not give the roaches that would be dangerous for the toads and geckos? or that would make the roaches distasteful?

I have a 20 gallon high (trash find) that I plan to use for my roaches. I am still in the research phase, but leaning toward Panchlora nivea. The question is what is best to use as a lid. The standard screen lid looks like an escapee nightmare. Perhaps a piece of plexiglass with a screen glued...
