  1. Mancae are usually at least 1/2 mm long, mites, even adults, are much smaller
  2. The only thing with this species is it seems to change colors according to the background so getting something consistent has been a challenge I imagine.
  3. Yeagh, they're common almost everywhere in temperate climates across the globe. Probably a lot more common in North America since there are hardly any competing species.
  4. I'll admit I never tried super hard but anyone pretending to have a long-term culture of that species also has a bunch of spaerotheriids they're breeding.
  5. There is variation naturally in the horn structure and color so any little difference does not mean a stock is mixed. However, if you compare a pure and mixed stock the differences are apparent.
  6. I get a little bag of dried fish at the Asian grocery store downtown for a few bucks that lasts forevery.
  7. Actually I don't, mine came from captive born, one of the oldest posts on this forum talks about the specific F1 babies. I always figured all the other imports came from European imports of wild adults through the Australian insect farm, but my imaginings are PURE SPECULATION.
  8. That deformity doesn't look dangerous but it might not heal perfectly after many molts.
  9. It's the same bacteria that can show up as pink slime in your sink or toilet.
  10. Do you have a picture of the deformity? I am curious how much they were.
  11. Maybe five years ago the biggest male I'd ever seen matured and I figured that was top for the species but then last year a really big one came out, just like the size variability in oblongonota.
  12. Because Blaberus just do not get that big. People make mistakes all the time in measurement, picture of the hand is hilarious though.
  13. Congrats. One thing about rhinos is the males (and females) can be very different in size between individuals of the same sibling group. This only matters because most people don't really have any idea how big this species truly can get until they've kept quite a few. Like hissers, only a fraction are ever super giants.
  14. They can survive dryness that would kill some other species, but they live underground where they are never dry and I have killed a baby here and there by letting it get too dry. When you say sprayed in one corner I get the feeling it died from dehydration. The bigger they are the less likely dryness kills them.
  15. It is unlikely you have anything that hits 8 cm in that group (unless you mean wingspan and not length from front of pronotum to the end of the tegmina). Please verify size claim with picture with vernier calipers or at least a ruler.
  16. That's crazy, mine blew up and then died out. Even when there were uncountable numbers never saw them anywhere else.
  17. I've started some of mine with five or less, more is great though.
  18. Have you seen an adult Helleria? I've not even seen little ones.
  19. Welcome! Why not petroleum jelly?
  20. I heard only Florida skunk roaches really like it.
  21. They should be fine. Rocks are generally safe unless they are part copper or have been sprayed with pesticides.
