Fourth Instar
Good Afternoon to you all! I'm Nate, started raising roaches YEARS ago, and just found this forum, so I thought I'd join in on the conversations!

I have 4 separate colonies going right now...And They Are...

Blaberus discoidalis = Discoid Cockroach

Blaptica dubia = Guyana Spotted Roach

Gromphadorhina portentosa = Madagascan Hissing Cockroach x2

Looking forward to reading the information on the forum, and posting up a TON of questions I have about the bugs! Primarily using mine as feeder insects for the zoo I have in my house, So This forum was a GREAT find!

My zoo consists of: Adult Pair of Sandfire Bearded Dragons, Rosy Tarantula, RCF Rosy Tarantula, Emperor Scorpion, Marble Gecko and Crocodile Gecko's x2

Here's some pix of my bugs :)

Welcome to the forum! I'm fairly new at roach keeping and I've found a lot of great info on this site. I keep a dozen tarantulas also - your Chilean Rose RCF is nice looking!

 
I had at one point something close to 300noon different tarantulas in my house...then when we had our son, my wife said they have to go...so they did! NOW that my boy is 2, we are SLOWLY getting him into bugs...and thus far, he LOVES making the hissers hiss! Its good times!

 
Right now, Everything is housed separately....Im keeping it that way until I can get a clear handle with the Mites on one of my hisser colonies

Welcome, Nate! Thanks for joining and infusing so much interesting content into the forum. I just read your mite removal thread with great interest!

 
Gladly Peter!

The washing method still takes the cake...However, im not really inclined to do that very much just because of the risk to the roaches...
