Happy new year to all from Australia.

Well what a surprise , I woke up to see my burrowing cockroack has had babies . Funny thing is I've had her for 4 months living a solitary life , apparently they can carry sperm so my guess she was just wanted to find her forever home before she had them.

Looks like I'll have to up grade her enclosure , at the moment she is in a small fish tank . But I have a spare reptile enclosure 900x450x300 , that will have to do for now i think .

All very exciting along with my selenocosmia crassipes is in pre molt , my flinders range scorpion is in pre molt and my pygmy rainforest just molted. My pythons are due to shed as well so I get all new looking pets early this year .
Great start for the new year .
