First Instar
Hello!
A short introduction of myself, first I am lucky to have a new discussion platform.
I think we do not have any active cockroach keeper forum anymore in Europe,
our last german forum died 10 years ago. I actual work on a new cockroach keeper
forum in german language, it is already online but not active until yet. Maybe there
is one in CZ and/or Poland but if then not in a language I speak or can even read.
Also of interest for me is to get informations about cockroach species we do not have
or never had in culture in Europe.
My love for cockroaches was born 2004 at a little terraristic stock market, where I have seen the lovely Gromphadorhina
grandidieri (even under this name, by the way in Europe they are usually named Princisia vanwaerebeki "Black & White"; essedentially
G.grandidieri at this time was named for what now is G.portentosa "Black") and giant G.portentosa.
Before that I knew what a cockroach is, but I never conciously ever had seen one.
I cared for my first tarantulas since a few years, and after buying my first one or
two pet roach species I passed over to get cockroaches for feeder use, too.
Temporary I cared for more than 80 species of cockroaches, this had been a bit too much.
Actually I have 30 species here, basically I planed not more than 30 again, but this number
inevitable will get some shift I think.
I will post a list of my cockroach species another time.
Greetings, Marco
