I have always used vaseline as a barrier for my climbers without any problems. Just recently a couple of my bins had the vaseline slide down the wall. It has only been on a single side that does it. It literally cracks away from the rest of the sides and just slides on down to the bottom. Talk...

I was thinking that all of my Parcoblatta sp were americana but I am now not so sure. I was guessing that species based on where I found them. Up in the mountains twain harte, Ca. After a few males matured in the last few days it appears that one male is smaller, a different color, and not as...

Well today I went to my grandparents cabin do some maintenance and of course I had to go browse the forest for critters. Found a few bright red soil centipedes, 1 decent sized Tiger centipede. But my favorite find was Xystocheir spp millipedes. They glow under UV light like scorpions do. I have...

So I saw this Eurycotis decipiens molting on the side of the glass tank. I was thinking to myself hmm thats an interesting spot to do it..... I was trying to figure out how it was gonna crawl out of its skin and not fall. About 5 minutes later I was sitting on the computer... and heard a loud...

After a few months of waiting my few adults finally produced 2 egg cases. The problem is that they both are shriveled and look bad. They are tiny as well. One side of the tank is dryish and the other side is moist. Any ideas on what im doing wrong? Thanks Kevin

Does vaseline contain these guys as well as it does lobsters? I have never had lobsters escape or hissers for that matter. But these zebra roaches....I have had 2 escape now... One I found....it actually managed to go from my room down the hall 2 rooms and found at the top of the wall by the...

when i was checking my email I noticed something interesting in the news section. Someone set the new world record for most hissing cockroaches in their mouth. According to the article the old record was 11 and he managed to stuff 16 in his mouth. Theres a video to.....haha rather funny but...

I found this little gal (just a guess) and believe its a western wood roach. Found it under some logs in California. My main question besides a confirmation on the ID is about the fluid it produces. What is the white substance it produces. I have never seen roaches produce this before. Just kind...

I bought a group that were suppose to be Byrsotria rothi but the size and color between a few of them leads me to believe there mixed. Is the black one a male rothi? and the light brown one a male fumigata? Any input would be appreciated.....if they are 2 species I would like to separate them...

I heard about this article in the paper today so I looked it up and thought I would share! It seems there was a swarm of field roaches that ruined a families camping trip. http://www.modbee.com/featured/story/857584.html Kevin

I know someone posted about termites a long time ago asking if they can be raised and if anyone was successful. I have a few colonies of a really small species. I raise them for my dart frogs. I feed off 40-50 of them every week or 2. They really require no care.....Maybe some new wood every 4-5...

I came across this picture and was wondering if they are even in captivity? One site said it was a canopy cockroach from Costa Rica or Brazil. Anyone know what they are and any info on them Thanks Kevin

I have about 25 to many of Uroctonus mordax or California forest scorpions. Various sizes and sexes including some gravid ones. They are a wonderful scorpion species to handle and rarely sting. Very docile in nature and tend to play dead. Im open to anything for trades but different species of...
