Greetings fellow roach ranchers

Well, hello. I just browsed this forum for about 10 minutes and it is definitely an EXCELLENT forum. I am glad i found it through the mantid forum.

About me? Well i had a Madagascar hisser as a kid. That was quite awhile ago. I currently have quite a few snakes, lizards and frogs. I also have 5 species of roach and 2 more on the list. I am interested in breeding roaches mainly for reptile food, although i recognize the enthusiast aspect as well.

I received my lobster roaches around feb of this year or as early as nov of last year. I will have to look.

From there i jumped on the blatta lateralis, madagascars, dubias in a month or two and discoids just 5 months ago.

I am glad to find another forum that is dedicated roaches and keeping. The health issues section is very interesting and I look forward to reading more and seeing more.

If you want to email me please go ahead. I am open to discuss blood trades, issues, and techinique

ect ect.

Welcome!

I have the Giant Cave roaches, and they are interesting pets to have, you should consider getting them.

 
Welcome... I'm a herper also...many roach species make a wonderful alternative to crickets as feeders... I personally believe they are far superior. Theres a bunch of fun "pet quality" species also.... Nice to have you here.
