Let's See Your Roaches- Photo Time

[Snake_Eyes]

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.

Yes they are dubia's, first pic is a mature male and the second pic is a mature female. Not all of the females have that much orange, she is just one of my prettier ones.

OldHag: No chance some other roaches found there way into the domino cage? Doubt it, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

No chance what-so-ever! I actually keep the glowspots and my rhinos by the dominos. All the "feeder" ones are banned to the basement.
There was only a pair of dominos in there, now there is a couple of wing fragments from the dead adults and a mess of babies and 17 empty egg cases
The newly hatched babies are very very tiny!! Im excited to watch them grow!! Going to put them into a display cage when they really get going good.

Great Photos everyone...keep them coming. I used to have a colony of the Giant Cave Roaches a few years back..after seeing those pics it reminded me how big and impressive they are...darn it...had to go buy a small group of them to start another colony!

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

Here is mine, Gromphadorhina grandidieri "Tiger Hisser":

Fantastic photos Matt K.

Hybrids. I use these as feeders. Some are really screwed up because the local pet store I got them at sucked at keeping them. I like how with these guys, some resemble discoidalis, some fusca, and others craniifer.

Oldhag: Agreed with GSC that giganteus is incredible. I mean...it is more or less the same length as the rhino!(I'm sure if you put them on a scale the rhino would be much heavier though).

Though I'd post my newest three. The two dark ones look black in normal lighting. I *love* the nice light gingery color of the last one. It's not just light from molting; that is her true color.

GREAT PHOTOS everyone...let's keep them coming. I don't know if other hobbyists realize the huge diversity in Roaches... I'm sure soem of these pictures have inspired other to come over to the "roach side"... anyways...thanks for sharing everyone.

Here's a few of mine:

Cuban Burrowing Cockroach (Byrsotria Rothi) - unusual stumpy wing male. Possibly a morph. My other males have normal wings.

Giant Green Banana Roach (Panchlora sp.) - My first adult. Looks like a female. She's about 1".

Dwarf Hissing Cockroach (Eliptorhina chopardi)

Turkistan Cockroach - These little guys are sneaky. This one has been living at the back of my exo terra tank for a few months.

Rochelle's "babies.."

Here's my G. portentosa "Babies".... spoiled beyond belief. They enjoy an 80gal tank so they can over produce all they want to...
It's like "roach zen" to just sit and watch them do their thing.


(Thanks OldHag! The colony exploded nicely....
They are Loved... )
