Can anyone name this species for me? Not able to figure it out on my own. Thanks.

Umm... what happened to the forum? Did I push a wrong button or something?

I'm reducing my collection drastically. The demands of work and family are using up all my free time. For the price of shipping and gas, I'm looking to unload the following species: Eublaberus posticus Eublaberus distanti Blaberus boliviensis Blaberus fusca Blaberus discoidalis Blaberus...

I finished them a while back and forgot to post them here. I have seven blackthroated monitors living in them. Easier to just post a link than trying to post them all here again. http://tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Finished-G...izard-Cage-Pics

Turns out my pyramiding theories were correct. These are my sulcata hatchlings from mid-May. They are now 4 months old and totally smooth. :) For those who missed it the first time around, pyramiding has nothing to do with diet, protein, calcium, sunshine or any of the other things that...

Anyone know what these are? They were found eating some fungus growing on the bottom of a dead log.

I remember seeing this sort of thing addressed before, but I can't remember a conclusive answer. I have 6 Blaberus species and all are doing well, except the giganteus. I started with 15 nymphs back in January and everything has seemed fine. The first few started maturing a few months ago. About...

I removed the egg flats and added this hollowed out log. Plus its going to rain in there every day now. I'd love any tips for improvement.

I've been hoarding and I need to unload some roaches. I've got to sell some: Blatta lateralis Blaptica dubia Nauphotea cinerea Blaberus discoidalis Blaberus fusca Eublaberus posticus Archimandrita tesselata Gromphadorhina portentosa (18 year old, pure strain) I've got way too many of...

Just got a few to turn loose in the roach room. Anyone else use "natural" methods to round up "escapees".

I'm starting to really understand WHY the expensive, rare roaches are expensive and rare. My lateralis, cinerea, discoidalis, dubia, fusca, posticus and tesselata are all exploding beyond my comprehension. I started these colonies in January and there are more than I know what to do with. My...

I just called my reptile wholesaler to inquire about some tokay geckos to be wardens in my roach prison ward. He told me that there is a huge cricket crisis going on right now. Apparently, there is some disease running through them and all the breeding colonies are dying. I heard about something...

Found this one in Glendale, CA. My little girl actually caught it. It moves really fast, like a hot Blaberus. Its just over an inch long. americana?

Found these at the beach in Oceanside, CA. Got a whole bunch of them. Is it Blatta orientalis? Will they survive in my roach room at 80-90F and 60-80% humidity?

I have these tiny little flies in my bins. They are much smaller than the Phorid flies and I just heard the term "snow fleas" used to describe them. They are only in my bins with substrate, but they are also in my reptile cages. I believe them to be a detrivore as they tend to congregate around...

Anyone recognize these little hitchhikers? They came in with my lobster colony. I pull about this many out of there almost every day, but more keep coming. My baby box turtle thinks the adults and the larvae are great! Anyone know a good way to get rid of them, besides physically removing them...

Cracked open a bin the other day to show a friend some roaches and looky what we saw... I saw the same thing with my A. tesselata, but she was partially buried in the substrate and I didn't have my camera. Of course, those babies were nearly half an inch long.

Anyone know what sort of insect makes this sort of egg case?

I've found a couple baby lateralis OUTSIDE the bin in the last couple of days. Sides are smooth and clean. Screens are fine and intact. Complete hot glue seal around the screens. The bin is very crowded with babies, but the lid stays on unless I'm feeding them. I put a vaseline layer around the...

Just got in some egg cases. What's the best way to hatch them out? Should I just put them outside and let them do their thing or should I hatch them in my reptile room? Reptile/roach room stays 80-85 and 50-60% humidity.
