a few places in the uk have them at the moment but not sure what the stocks are like in other countries

 

[The Odd Pet]

I'll have them soon but IDK when I'll have them available.

I have a small colony in a communal setup but I'm more into t's

 

[The Odd Pet]

I really want a T but my girl won't let me. I'm still going to get one. I just haven't found one I want for a beginner yet.

What smaller roach species does like to eat the eggs, and the more exotic looking the better

I agree, Gyna would probably be your best bet. The nymphs are voracious.

@The Odd Pet that's pretty cool, I didn't know G. gloriosa was becoming available in the hobby. How does the care stack up with other Gyna?

I I want one that is Hannibal but also a boreal I won't be hiding all the time. Any recommendations?

IDK yet but I'll make a post when I have them.

Well I started out with old world arboreal. No point getting a "beginner" species if it's a stepping stone to what you really want! .... in my opinion

What species?

 

[Carthropod]

What species?

Being single is just the best till you find someome that accepts your hobby is my opinion

 

[The Odd Pet]

Yes that would be ideal.

 

[OpPowerpuff]

What species?

I got a feather leg baboon. Closely followed by a red slate ornamental....

 

[ColeopteraC]

What species?

The Avicularia's?

I know the more common species are considered typical beginner species but the rarer variants are really quite fun and stunning (e.g Guyana form large etc.)

 

[Carthropod]

My cam is really bad at showing hoe damn cool this looks at night, but my sticks got a HUGE upgrade, their first and last one tough, this is also the setup i was talking about, more pics tommorow

for info when tommorow is im the netherlands

Used flash so the colors arent looking like they should in the image

but can they climb, because the terrarium has bark and wood placed like a staircase up to where the sticks are

Yes that can but it really depends on the species if they will much if at all.

will Gyna caffrorum because i dont want them knocking off the sticks

I can't say. I don't have that species yet. Hopefully I will soon. If they are like Gyna lurida "yellow" then yes.

Adults can climb very well, both on the sticks/bark and smooth surfaces. They're pretty lightweight though, so unless they're trying to fly around I don't see them doing too much to the sticks.

I totally agree.
