Hey all! Need some help with ID before my other half freaks out. Found this dude in my windowsill just now. Im pretty sure it's a wood roach of some type? We brought a lot females home in some hardwood mulch, but I hadn't seen a male yet. It was a bit larger than I was expecting and it caught me...

Gotta get rid of this colony as well and because of my allergies I am not able to sort through substrate for tiny nymphs, so they will be boxed up and mailed with the sub. Asking $50 plus shipping, live guarantee with overnight only. So far 2/3 day Priority has been running around $10. Around a...

My allergies have hit ER-level proportions, so the roaches have got to go. Selling these as entire colonies, and will pack them up with all their substrate as-is to ship them off so you get all the teeny nymphs and ooths. All colonies are three years old. Videos are provided to show numbers and...

Awesome guy. :) It was my first time shipping roaches in winter, and he went well out of his way as the buyer to educate me and supply the needed shipping supplies to make sure that they arrived alive. I could not be happier with the way the transaction went. Extremely prompt with payment and...

Taking this down as it's been almost five months and I have to reasses the colonies and figure out what is still in there. I do still need to get rid of everything but the dubia. I'll repost as soon as it's warm enough to ship. Sorry if I didn't get back to anyone this winter - it's not been an...

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/10/cockroach-apartment A bit (very) odd, but gave me a good chuckle. :)

Yeah, I have no idea where or how they're escaping. I'm trying to remember if I may have dropped a container of them earlier this summer, but for the life of me I can't recall if it was them or the flat horned hissers. (Or both. I have butterfingers.) They might have gotten loose when I sorted...

Edit: 11/7/14 Too cold to ship.

We needed to waste about a half-hour today so stopped at the park, and I found this little thing crawling on my husband's shoulder when it was time to leave. It was so pretty! And I don't remember having seen anything like it before, so would be interested in finding out what it is. Not even...

And making leaps and bounds apparently. There was a jumping spider trying to get into my cricket bin last night and my first instinct was to reach over and scoop it up bare handed. Then my brain kicked in and I used tongs to knock it into a container to get it outside. But - I didn't scream...

Giant Peppered problem. Again. :( Not sure what he's oozing. It's not Vaseline from the sides and there's nothing else even remotely like that in the entire room. It's also been over 24 hours and his wings haven't unfurled and he hasn't hardened up yet. He's only slightly darkened up from...

Nope, totally read that title right! http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20140130/331120/ And the paper can be found here: http://cap.ee.imperial.ac.uk/~pdm97/powermems/2011/Oral/1B-3.pdf So cool!

Not sure what happened, but by the time I found it still halfway trapped in it's molt it had already mostly hardened. I freed it as best I could and was hoping maybe it would recover, but after 24 hours it was obvious it couldn't move anything but the end of it's legs, and it's mouth was sealed...

It's only been a bit over a year since I received large nymphs from Kyle that quickly became adults. Since then they mated, made lots of egg cases, and have since died, but the first adults that were bred here have emerged this week. :D However, all 11 of them are males..... Is it normal for...

Last night I went to feed and water and it was a slaughterhouse in my dubia tank. :( At least two dozen adults in pieces - I had to get a count by picking out protonums in order to figure out how many individuals had been torn to pieces because there was so much carnage. About half of the...

I had read that both T. olegrandjeani and T. petiveriana only live for a few months as adults, but mine are still going strong and I know it's been at least 7 months that they've been adults, possibly 9 months. I've lost a few (maybe three or four) in the past couple of months, but the majority...

I've got too many containers and I'm getting tired of doing fresh fruit every other night! Was hoping someone could make suggestions for making an easy-feed staple food so that dinnertime goes quicker. To this point the roaches have been eating nearly the same as my hermits - they get fresh...

I was gathering up the tank to cull that problem colony of mine, when I spotted not one, but three oddballs sitting out right on top. So they get a reprieve for now while I figure out what they are and if they're really oddballs or just regular variation in the species. Would love some help...

I'm calling it quits on my cursed dubia colony as my second colony is doing fine. I was going to toss them in the freezer to cull them today, but then I realized that they might be okay as feeders for reptiles. (MIGHT BE - I'm not an expert and I don't know what's been going on with them.) I'm...

I just had a ton of these start sprouting in several of my roach bins and also my scorpion tanks. (None in the enclosures where my roaches have been sick, strangely enough.) I'm removing them as I find them, but there are tons more coming up and I really don't want to have to replace the pea...
