Let's See Your Roaches- Photo Time

[Gsc]

Over on the AllPet Roach Board we have been sharing roach photos ( http://www.bidabug.org/Forum/index.php?showforum=22 )... I thought it was a great idea and figured it'd be fun to do here on Arachnoboards also. I don't have anymore space to upload photos (able to squeeze a reduced sized photo of one of my female Aussie Rhino Roaches next to my cellphone) BUT lets see what you have...time to show off your favorite species!

Cheers,
Graham

I thought my Domino roaches had died with out makin me some babies... I was wrong

I put in a dish of roach food and.....it was MOBBED by babies of all sizes! YAY

Odd- Those son;t look like my Domino babies....mine go from brown to black at a little more than an eigth of an inch and are black until they reach adulthood.... Why are the nymphs in this pic brown ??

they almost look like Blaptica dubia, maybe because of the food all over them????

I also have Therea grandjeani, and they are black like my dominos as nymphs. They hatch tan and turn brown until aboiut the size of a match head, and then next molt they are black after that.

They're definately Domino Roaches. I got them from James. The adults were very black with the white dots. I dont know why the babies are brown. Maybe what I feed them.... who knows.

Im just anxiously awaiting babies from my Rhinos and Glowspots!!

Peppered Roaches (achrimandrita tesselata), I still breed these

Here's my new favorite roach. Tiger hisser (Princisia vanwaerebecki).

That tiger hisser is beautiful!

Snake eyes roaches are Blaptica dubia.

you sure? mine -i got dubia's but no pix of em- look very different

i CAN see however that i made a mistake with the size; B giganteus is a lot larger than this. so they're not Giant roaches.

 

[OldHag]

Heres one of my B. giganteous and one of my Rhino roaches. I just love the rhinos, they're so cute. They look plastic!

Wow- Great photos everyone... very inspirational... I think people are really realizing that roaches are more than just feeders... I'm really excited about the roach hobby advancing with their popularity increasing...
