Hi everyone

I live in South Africa. I am currently 17. I have been keeping exotic animals for two years now. I own two snakes, two lizards, 13 tarantulas and a hundred or so Blaptica dubia. I have mostly bred Roaches as feeders but did keep Gromphadorhina portentosa as a pet for a while. At the moment I am trying to get hold of Aptera fusca - Cape Mountain Cockroach. I am lucky to live in the country where they originate from. My plan is hopefully, if I can get them, to breed them for a while then introduce them into the SA hobby then export some overseas. I am also trying to source Parktown Prawns.

 
Welcome to the forums!

That sounds great what you are trying to do, we need more people like you here! :)

 
Thanks. Now I just have to wait until someone actually contacts me about these damn cockroaches. Aptera fusca are one of my favourite species, apart from the Deaths Head Cockroach.

 
Welcome looked up aptera fusca. They look nice. Id be interested but im not sure how it would be shipping all the way to california

 
I have no idea either. The most important thing at the moment is to first get some breeding stock. The rest can wait until a later stage.
