  1. I've never used leaf litter with blaberids. I'll go throw some in.
  2. One of the very biggest terrestrials pied (partial albino) tri-color (orange, black and white) various immatures. Adult males of this of this species have extremely long, sword-like tails (uropods).
  3. I got some species in a burlap bag a long time ago and they arrived fine so it can't be too harmful.
  4. F1 is usually the offspring of wild adults, F2 is the following generation. They take 36 to 60 months to mature.
  5. Nice website, I can't remember if I saw it before. My French is super weak but usually I can read it if it's about cockroaches.
  6. Some isopods and roaches can cohab very well but maybe not over a very long period.
  7. They look like the common coloration, still a nice big species.
  8. I've had a colony for seven years and they don't eat a lot.
  9. I had one for half a year babysitting it for my sister since it was a baby and she wanted it raised to an easier size. Really neat little lizards.
  10. I think they'll eat any lettuce, romaine is often suggested because it has more nutrients.
  11. Very excited this finally came together after another decade plus. Lots of new information and species accounts. Milliped Zoology: Husbandry and Diversity of the Class Diplopoda by Orin A. McMonigle, Hardcover | Barnes & Noble® (barnesandnoble.com)
  12. I usually find the isopods die out in hisser colonies but the hissers like it very dry.
  13. I tried it for a number of years but included some regular food just in case. My very old yellow mealworm colony eventually all died, every last one. They seemed okay with eating it for a long time but crashed and died after four to five years. Maybe the Styrofoam I tried was treated with something, but it was regular packing Styrofoam. My experiences makes me wonder if mealworms living on Styrofoam is a hoax that is not very easy to disprove.
  14. The advice was that species is easy (the other one is not as easy and recovers less from neglect). They eat dog food and fruits and a few inches of substrate goes over well.
  15. Good info. They'd probably take a few days longer at 75F.
  16. If they're molting it can also be a lack of moisture but crowding is a potential cause.
