Cockroach Appreciation

[madagascarhissinglover]

I'm gonna start a thread where you can post all about any cockroaches you have! It can be their enclosure, babies, literally anything with a cockroach in it.

I bought a batch of dubia to be used as feeders, but I must admit, I find them intriguing in their own right. As long as you keep them warm and well fed, you really can't go wrong, can you? It's only been a month, but it sure looks like they're multiplying already.

That's amazing! Hopefully your colony will grow even more.

Pseudoglomeris magnifica "Cuc Phuong National Park, Vietnam". Got a small group of these recently and I really love their vibrant coloration.

I was at a reptile shop yesterday and I was getting some black solider fly larvae for my leopard gecko and while I was in the car on the way home I noticed that there was a dubia roach hangin out on my leg. So now I have a single pet dubia roach. Yay. And don't worry im not going to feed it to anything.

whats the care like for these? I have some but they aren't breeding. I believe my setup may be missing something.

I honestly haven't even been trying and they are breeding. I just had babies appear in their enclosure yesterday. But I've got them on a bioactive display setup. Also could be temp (my room holds at about 75 to 80.) Could be food. Chick feed and fresh veggies. So I'm not even sure what it may be.

any images of the setup? I'd like to see what your ventilation is like. What is your substrate?

It's a Tarantula Cribs 8 inch cube. Holes are 2mm in size. Any bigger and I'd worry about the babies getting out. Substrate is ABG mix. I don't have any plants in there just because my room doesn't get enough light and it's not all that well set up. My dubia colony has a better setup. I'll post pics of both. And in the second picture that's both the common and halloween hissers.
