Oh gosh, there are so many that I find fascinating. I only currently keep 3 - Dubia, B. lateralis and P. nigra so my actual knowledge is limited. I do have an order from @Hisserdude placed so I'll be adding another species (plus a color variant) I really love the look of Domino and Question...

Welcome! :)

I'll have to check out discord, I've never really used it much. And I'll definitely keep watch for the auctions, that would be fun to at least watch :D

Is either the Golden Scarab Beetle or Golden Tortoise Beetle ever available for sale? I've done some searching but so far nothing is coming up except dead specimens. :/ Thankfully there are other species that I'm interested in keeping, just out of stock at this time - so if they're never...

:oops: That boggles my mind, I never imagined it could take so long for their incubation. Sending all the good vibes!

Oh my gosh, that lil one is so darn cute! I wish you all the luck in the world with raising them. Looking forward to pictures of them during their growth! :D *edit* Holy smokes, I just looked up to see what the adults look like and they are gorgeous!

Well, on Sunday I put a small piece of zucchini in with my two colonies. My dubia devoured it, there is no trace left of it 🥰 My P. nigra, however didn't touch it and now it's molded over. I didn't expect it to mold THAT fast, it's crazy! I scooped out the zucchini and any soil that was...

Just read this - I never thought about the foam potentially getting chewed on. :eek: I'm really glad you mentioned it, I will keep a close watch on mine now and if it shows signs get a different container before it really becomes an issue. So far, the only roaches I keep that are noted as being...

I was able to catch them out a couple nights ago, all clustered on a piece of bark :D

It actually helps break them down a bit more and easier to digest. Roaches also tend to be detrivores, so they'll appreciate it too. Also, if it gets a little "slimy" it's ok - its a biofilm and has good sources of bacteria. My isopods go bonkers for it. :) I have some new stuff soaking now...

I had a feeling that it looked like it, but couldn't tell for sure, very good news. :)

That's so sad to watch, the poor thing. It reminds me of DKS in tarantulas, and there's a lot of controversy over what causes it. I have no idea if roaches ever get the same thing, it just looks a lot like it. The only thing I can think *might* be a cause is possibly the wood? If its pine...

Main thing is to collect from where you know that no kind of pesticide has been used, and is a decent way from traffic to avoid as much pollutants as possible. If you're not sure, I'd recommend buying online. I freeze any leaves I collect for a minimum of 3 days, often up to a week. Then I...

Welcome! :)

Currently keep: Blaptica dubia Pycnoscelus nigra Isopods A. gestroi P. dillatus P. laevis, Dairy Cow P. pruinosus T. tomentosa Tarantulas A. germani A. anax A. burica A. chalcodes A. hentzi x 2 C. sp Saraburi C. cyaneopubescens C. lividus D. pentaloris L. parahybana N. incei (Gold) S...

I really like the Domino roaches a lot, their chunky more rounded body is very appealing to me. :)

Welcome! :)

Welcome! :)

Right?? I think I'm obsessed with anything green in inverts, I swear. The same YouTuber has a video on animals with gold coloration, and there is a gold beetle I am obsessed over! I need to watch again, I don't remember the name of it.

*melts over the tarantula toe beans* I'm having a bit of a senior moment - is that a C. versicolor on the bottom pics? I had wondered about the nymphs of these particular roaches for feeder potential. I hate to say it, but it does cross my mind for any potential roach I get. >.< Good to see...
