Been looking for this species for a while now and the only two people that seem to be working with them are also unreachable.

If you haven't found any I believe @Cariblatta luteais working with them. I am as well, but waiting on ootheca to hatch.

Funny enough just after making this thread he posted on Facebook he was working with this species. Unfortunately seems he has a small colony and isn't able to provide as many as I would have hope, so while I'll be receiving some from him my search continues.

I have a smaller sized colony of about 14 or so adults/large nymphs and a handful of hatchlings that I can send you

Thank you, appreciate that
Try not to mix locales though, since some northern ones could have diapause requirements or something, that might make the whole culture do worse if mixed together with more southern strains.

I've read on diapause requirements of some Parcoblatta sp but not seen anything about fulvescens specifically. Appreciate the insight!
Yeah, seems MOST fulvescens strains are from down south and have no diapause requirements, but the species does range up north as well, so depending on the source they could need a cool period.

Good to know the southerns locales seem more common, hopefully I'll be to get information of stock origins.
