Fancy African roach

New roach I recently acquired, turned out to be a pregnant female so hopefully I get lots of wee babies.
i'll see if i can find it, theres a couple of web pages with the name but not much else, its quite a small beastie but it looks quite amazing. It doesnt glow but it would be nice if it did.
 
@Hisserdude Not much chance of me getting my hands on any more but this one had 2 or 3 lots of babies so I have quite a few of them at the moment. Quite nice wee things.
 
@Rodge Well that's good, hopefully you can get them established in the hobby, I know Eustegasta buprestoides is on a LOT of Blatticulturist's wishlists lol, (mine included).
 
@Hisserdude I may separate them into 2 groups and see if I can get 2 colonies on the go then who knows, perhaps I'll see about getting them out there to fellow roach enjoyers.
 
@Rodge Hope that works out well, FYI keeping them at around 75-85F° and offering lots of fruits should boost growth and reproduction respectively, the warmer they are the faster the development, but you definitely don't want to overheat them, so make sure they have good ventilation too. :)
