Sourcing Adult Gromphadorhina grandidieri and picea

I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Manchester. For my final year project I'm going to try to compare sexual size dimorphism and male-male behaviour in all four species of the genus Gromphadorhina. We already have a population of G. portentosa in the labs at Manchester and I think I've found a source for G. oblongata but I'm having real trouble finding places to purchase adult G. grandidieri and G. picea. I thought this would a be a great place to ask!

Thanks,

Roberto

 
Simply searching "tiger hisser for sale" on google you'll find it, but I've never seen G. picea in the hobby.

As I wrote you these species are not in captivity.

 
You have to be careful where you get your stock since all the known Gromphadorhina hybridize in captivity and many stocks are mixed.
