Therea are among the easier of the hobby roaches IMO. They just have a longer development time than some, though this is greatly sped up by warm temps and a protein rich diet.

I just started keeping them for the first time, and they're pretty neat. Definitely one of the more underappreciated "pest" species (I mean they're really all underappreciated except for P.americana).
