I had a tarantula named General Bald Ass, so those names work. Bitchface was a name given to my pokie after he bit me, Karma got him though, when his mate ate him.

Exactly, they aren't as robust as the hype portrays them. I've never seen them up north. I doubt the Australian roaches could even survive long term outside their cages in more northern states, unless there were mitigating circumstances, like a greenhouse or many potted plants for example... @All About Insects You will be fine, unless you deliberately try to assist them outside their cages lol.

I also found them to be more out going. @Hisserdude it's the fact that you don't keep them, that makes you uncultured.

You have amazing taste in roaches, too bad @Hisserdude is so uncultured. Any other Periplaneta species planned? Periplaneta americana, are a good choice if you want a bolder roach species. And of course there are other less common ones.

Are flat roaches becoming a thing? If they blow up, we all get the pleasure of being where it all started. LOL

I've never noticed any change in activities due to weather changes, but I've always caught the most either before or a few hours after a rainstorm. But Periplaneta species are some of my favorite roaches.

I like the first picture.

Very nice.

Yup, cold is safer than hot temperatures with these guys, I'm glad you got red runners. Looking forward to pics.

Making a list, checking it twice, going to find out what @Hisserdude does not have in his inventory. If I could have my way, I'd get three Periplaneta species.

I've never had much luck trapping roaches, catching them by hand was easier. Also American roaches make cheeky captives, so consider keeping them as well.

Happy birthday, now, show us the buggos. I'm sure they will be fine in a 29 gal right off the bat.

Just needs a few more things, such as heating pads, some small amount of substrate, and of course proper ventilation. And by soon I mean in @CodeWilster time.

It's up to you to keep Periplaneta species now. @Hisserdude

Well sadly Ive had to say good bye to my remaining Periplaneta colony, while I have now an actual permenant location to stay at and work near by the apartment management does not allow cockroaches, however Im sure I can have exotic roaches since they often don't look like the "pest" species. (Im already gathering the supplies in preperation) So now the remaining australasiae are now running free and hopefully liking their freedom again, though now they don't get regular meals and safe lodgings. One day I will get Periplaneta again.

@CodeWilster Can you list links to the various drill components on amazon? I suck at "tool know how" and dont want to spend money on the wrong things. By the way its been a LONG time since your epic teaser. Thanks.

I figured as such but given this particular species seeming need for vertical space it seemed like a good suggestion for an intermediate roach that may or may not need more privacy than most, and thus the benefit would outweigh the draw backs. You can always of course stake them out using red light to see if they are eating and healthy.

@wizentrop @Hisserdude Just a crazy idea, but what about using premade bat houses as hiding places, while not space efficient by any means, they seem tailor made for these guys.

Dudes they forgot the pupal stage!

I'd get a group of Chinese mantis for it, a common yet impressive species, it will be no serious loss of one eats another.

Mixed roach displays are impressive, however eventually one species will eventually dominate the rest. However for short term it will be fine. So I would recommend you keep a majority of the roaches separate. And just mix a few now and then for the display.

Finally baby Australian roaches everywhere.

That black white eye looks amazing. Sadly my americana colony is destroyed the ooth all molded over.

Pancake Roach. I win, thanks for playing.
