My Roaches

[Matttoadman]

Hmmm, I'm with hisserdude. Down with periplaneta, up with Eublaberus!

By the sounds of it, you actually seem to have a very tolerant pede. Working with wild ones in AZ they would try to give you a parting shot if you pestered them too much.

And now I hereby decree that @Hisserdude show off his entire non roach collection.

Yeah, S.longipes is pretty chill, they spend most of their time underground, and just try to run off when disturbed it seems. I have heard they have a pretty bad bite though, and even when handled gently they often "test" bite you, which doesn't involve venom but I'm sure still hurts!

Well I have posted pics in various threads here and there of my non roach inverts, here are a few of them for example: Isopod thread, Darkling beetle thread, Jerusalem Cricket thread, Melanolestes thread, etc., My Blog is the best place to stay up to date on my entire collection though, roaches, beetles, isopods, centipedes, etc.

I don't have Eublaberus either LOL! Wouldn't mind having one of the prettier, slower breeding species though, (if there is such a thing), like E.serranus or E.sp. "Ivory".

I shall not stand for this blatant racism.

I have a colony in a 20 gallon long and they seem to replace themselves. I feed from them a bit but this seems to keep me with about 40ish adults. They bred faster in a smaller container.

God bless America and it's talking roaches I want to watch that movie so bad.

You can buy it on the Google play store.

Yeah but now I have an iPhone but the movie is probably there too. I won't get it at this current time as I'm saving up to get new inverts and equipment.

Good to know, will probably wait until I move to get any, but one day I'll get some, one day...

Thanks all for the wonderful reminder of Joe's apartment. I going to be watching it again soon. Roaches are one of my favorite inverts to sit and watch.

Gorgeous roaches and wonderful photos! All of your Panchlora are beautiful! Are they all doing well for you? Where do the Arenivaga sp. "Algodones Dunes" come from? I have always liked the round roaches!

Thanks!

Well the speckled and Costa Rica yellow Panchlora are doing OK, only one of my white females matured in time to mate with the males though, so I'm on pins and needles hoping she'll give me a good sized litter...

The Arenivaga sp. "Algodones Dunes" from from California, in the Algodones dunes, a friend of mine caught two nymphs there and sent them to me, sadly they are both females. Working on getting some more from the same area though!
