Kaiko
First Instar
Hi there!
I just realized I never actually introduced myself, lol. So here I go!
Hey! I’m Kaiko (my nickname almost everywhere) and I’m a proud Mexican keeper.
I started keeping roaches about 6 years ago, when I bought my first hisser colony from Petco, lmao. They were probably portentosa hybrids but it was enough to make me fall in love with roaches. Since then, I’ve been binging on books, articles and pretty much everything I can find about them.
I’m currently keeping and raising Gromphadorhina sp. hybrid, Elliptorhina javanica, Blaptica dubia and Therea bernhardti. Sometimes I’d use dubia nymphs to feed my Leopard Gecko, but they’re mostly all “pets”.
Sadly the hobby in my country isn’t as big as in other places, but I can proudly say I’ve contributed a lot to it! As a result, we’re constantly looking for sellers willing to ship to México (we already have a list so pm me if interested!)
In addition, I’d also love to make new friends within the hobby! So please, feel free to message me. I keep tarantulas, true spiders, snails and other bugs too!

Do you have any native Mexico species of roaches? Lots of interesting ones down there, even in northern Mexico (well, mostly Arenivaga spp. there, which I personally find very interesting). But far southern Mexico has the most variety, particularly in the rainforests.
clunkily working toward building a bio-active habitat for them. Love to meet new people and keep learning!
