Dwarf hissers. Cute little dudes.



Tiger hisser.


Orange head


Harlequin


More to come. I'm the type of person who has to go through 50 shots just to get the one good one, so it's taking me a while to get pictures up. :p

Nice pics. I hope that "Harlequin" roach will be available for sale in Poland soon.

I'm still waiting for my E. distanti to reach maturity. My camera is ready...

Same here xelda, I am lucky if I get one half way decent shot out of a single camera picture storage card filled with mutiple angles of shots. :)

Very nice pictures. To bad that the Hissers have those soft pads in between the very small hooks that allow them to easily climb up glass. I would have them if were not for that little problem. Vaseline is to messy for my taste but I did see an old special on Discovery where they used a metal strip around the top that had electrical current running through it. It stopped a tank full of german "pest" roaches.

Nice pictures!
I'm working on getting some new species myself, amongst those possibly N. rhombifolia; do they burrow much as adults / nymphs?

And if I could only work out a way to get Pseudomops septentrionalis over the pond..gutes Glück Vys :/

Thanks for the compliments!

Vys, I don't see my N. rhombifolia burrow at all. They make a great display species once you have adults because they're constantly roaming about and don't get skittish if something moves near the cage.
