I dont really know too much about these critters, i'll keep browsing to learn more. What I really want is something, big-ish, colorful, affordable, and good for a beginner. Any suggestions? Millipedes and centipedes both, i'm not picky. :-)

It's easy to keep the humidity up, but how to you keep it dry inside a terrarium?

man that last one looks like it could take off a few of your appendages

"Maybe the best way to get over it would be to just put your hand into a giant roach colony's cage and let 25 or so adults and nymphs crawl on your arm until you see that they are no threat." Or the best way to go into shock... :-) I don't have problems with either, course I have hissers...

Cool. I won't tell because i dont even know what aphis is... what is it? :-)

A scorpion with a crap tail and really long legs Heh, thats one's opinion. Called Whipscorpions because their front two legs have become very elongated. They are called "Vinagaroons" because they have to ability to spray actual acetic acid, aka vinegar, out of their tail. About 85% of the...

"Or maybe he's just rinsing it. You wouldn't want soiled roaches for dinner, would you?" Teehee I read somewhere that hissers can live for 7 minutes in a vacuum. Not just under water, a vacuum. Amazing!

Man, the bicolor just looks like business. Tough call... I'd say go for the communal first, then go get the other when you have the money.

Interesting... i don't know what else to say. Very interesting. If there's a market, go for it I guess...

I was wondering the same thing myself, my roaches love oranges. I read somewhere that it gives the colony kind of a collective sugar high for a day or so, and whaddya know the gravid female gave birth. Any ideas?

Cool, predatory on what and how?

Holy crap that is a big un. don't let kitty get too curious... i'm already worried they'll discover my hidden emporers and hissers :-)

Haha should be interesting to see what happens...

That looks pretty cool! What do you need to do this, what sort of setup?

Double: Your right it is Acanthoplus Discoidalis also known as the Namibian armored cricket. Not bad i was wondering if anyone would know the name and or history. There extreamely cool but they have a few downsides such as being extreamely noisey during the breedign season, there also very...

Awesome pics!

How do you start a colony? Just get peat moss or something and keep food and moisture in there? They're absolutely everywhere and I want to play with them. Any advice?

I tried to stick some pillbugs in there, they all died though. And even if they ate the roach doo-doo wouldn't they have some of their own??

Very cool indeed, I'm keeping an open eye to see if I can find one outside somewhere. I heard from a friend that a mantis grabbed her finger and the spines went through her fingernail! Basically, if that thing gets an insect, it's a goner. Very cool.

I've seen about 10 escapees dead not far from their cage. However my dorm room has lots of places they can hide and probably lots of food laying around, so I've found some nymphs a month or so after they escaped in perfect health and some had even molted. I hope I didn't start an exotic...
