Zephyr's Amazingly Awesome Roach Thread

I wonder if my firebellied toad would eat a roach? Anyone tried??

Go for it. They're very easy to digest. :P

[Lori P]

If the toad ate them, then I would consider getting some for both him and the skink. Hmmm, and then I might need that cute green snake I saw last week too, you know, to eat up the extras...

Is it too cold to order a few from you??

For frail little lateralis, yes.
The others are a tad hardier though.

However seeing as I forgot that wasn't on my sale list, then yes, you can order some lobster roaches from me. Check my ad for pricing and whatnot.

what roaches do you currently have that are not in your ad?
I mean including the ones that you're not selling currently, but either keep as pets or to develop future colonies
just curious . . .

Kyle. Am I supposed to have some straight up and down boards in their tank for some reason? I keep seeing raoch set ups with both egg crate and then some boards propped straight up.

[drache]

wow - I'm floored
I'd no idea
I wanted to get the book and some bug boundary from blaberus, so I got some b. fusca and some b. cranifer as well and I can't keep them apart visually
do the nymphs look very similar?
one of them makes little squeaky noises - or am I imagining that?

First, the babies are somewhat similar, fusca nymphs have more red and orange on them, while craniifer nymphs are more brown.
The little squeaky noises are their tarsi scratching against your enclosure walls. :P
