Hey guys. I was wondering what interesting inverts are found in NJ. I was hoping to catch and breed some local inverts this spring and summer, and your input would be really helpful. The species don't have to already be established in the hobby. I could bring something new to the community. Thanks!

Hey guys. The title really says it all. Thanks!

Hey guys. I was wondering what are some good sites/sellers to get orthopterans from in the us. Aside from feeders, I've only seen them occasionally at expos, from norcalgrasshoppers, roach crossing, bic, or from importers. I'm considering getting some in the future. Thanks everyone!

I have 6 Armadillidium klugii. They are in a small container with moss, egg shell hides, and a high quality substrate (as well as food, obviously). But they haven't produced for me yet, so I was wondering what your guys tips and tricks are. I'm planning on decreasing the humidity thanks to Orins...

Hello everyone I have been fighting an ongoing battle with mold in my dubia roach enclosure. The substrate they are on is a type of millipede substrate, which has some wood chunks in it but is mostly loose. The other day I did a deep clean of the enclosure and removed and replace a large amount...

I know there already is a CCR post here, but it wasn't a normal review. I received my order under a week, well packed and well marked. All roaches arrived happy and healthy. I also received bonus roach chow and jelly. I'm very pleased with my order.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is another one of those "Dubia morphs" post. After the man behind the famous "Yellow Dubia Roach Program" seemingly vanished into thin air, I was wondering just how many morphs of dubias there are. Are you keeping / know about a dubia morph? Post it below!

Why doesn't it work anymore? Has the website moved?

I was considering caring for Armadillidium officinalis, and I would like to hear and tips and tricks for their success. Thanks!

What are your favorite beginner isopods? I'm looking for a species after my a. nasatum colony died off. Ideally the species would be hardy, medium or fast breeding, not tiny, be relatively easily found, and tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and humidity ranges. For the humidity, needing a...

I have been keeping armadillidium nasatum on and off for about 3 years now, with varying levels of success. These isopods are very common in my backyard, and they can be easily sourced during most of the spring and summer, sometimes even into the fall. My first and second cultures produced...

My dubia roaches seem to pass up carrot pieces, yet they devour celery, fennel, shrimp pellets, etc. Has anyone else noticed this?

Title says it all. What's your favorite species of "whip scorpion" or "whip spider" that you keep or have kept in the past?

Hi, I remember a species of Blaberus being available on roachcrossing.com that is no longer listed on the site. I don't known if Kyle himself is on the forum, but perhaps even someone with a good memory (or advanced species knowledge) can determine what it was. The species in question was a...

Hello, I was wondering how people ranked up on this forum (ex eggcase, subadult, ect). Does it have to do with time, content, or reputation? Thanks

I received 24 Blaptica dubia nymphs during the November of 2020. I heard that it may take 5-8 months for them to mature, but they are still around 1/2 inch. They are kept a bit colder than recommended because the heat mat will only fit on their final, larger tank. I feed them an assortment of...

Hi everyone!  I was just wondering what is the best brand/"model" heat mat and thermostat for roaches. I was also wondering what would be the best way to attach the thermostat to the heat mat. Thanks, and have a great day!  

Hello everyone, FlamingSwampert here! I just wanted to introduce myself. You may/may not know me from the Arachnoboards forum, or from many other places. I am getting into the roach hobby, so I decided to join this forum! I plan on getting many more species once it becomes warmer, but...

Hi all, I was just wondering about the differences between the "UCR" and regular Death's Head Roach cultivars. I know that the "UCR" are larger, paler, and calmer, but are there any other differences? Thanks, and happy roaching everyone!

Hi everybody. All of my pics are "too big" to be added on this forum. My tablet is kind-of old, so this may be causing the problem. Does anyone know a way to fix this?
