Sweet, mother of jesus... that's alot of Hormetica. The first pictures contains at least $1400 worth of them (assuming 80 roaches). I'm jealous to say the least!

hormetica

They range in size from 1-1 1/2 inches. The males have the spots on the head. The are very fun species and I hope to have many more cool things coming soon.

James,

Are hormetica climbers? I thought they were but none of them are on the walls in your photo.

I started with 3 pairs, I have yet to have any nymphs, any help with breeding would be greatly appreciated.

hormetica

I keep them 75-80F in 4" of peat/siol with plenty of laef litter and dead oak. They like apples and some dry food.

So can you handle hormetica? Are they mellow or very skittish?

Now now, lets not highjack James's thread...he is doing a great job of supplying VERY hard to get species at an extremely reasonable price... Some of these species are really rare and hard to get in the US hobby...it costs alot of money to legally import these species along with piles of paperwork... I have bought from James for years and have ALWAYS been very pleased. Keep up the good work at getting new species James...my collection needs them- lol!

roaches

Hormetica are easy to hadle. Heck they actually hang on to you very well. I wish I could do better on the price, but these roaches are very hard to get. These are also very large and almost a year old. Hormetica is very slow growing and have been recording breeding at 3+ years of age.
