I currently have an enormous colony of gromphadorhina portentosa with around 80-100 individuals, as you could think there are many giant piles of their feces and I mean just straight piles of it since they gather up and crowd with each other. Would powder orange isopods be the way to go to help get rid of some of this without having to scoop it out all the time? I've heard about them overpopulation but if I control it properly with they do well together? I regularly clean out their feces and any leftover exo skeletons monthly, it would also be a good chance to keep two species in one enclosure without having to make more enclosures they will also be provided with the heat. Any thoughts? -
So; until recently I was one of those people who thought a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach was it; I now know that there are not only different types of hissers but there are even a couple different Genus of them as well. So after some research I have found Gromphadorhina, Ellipthorhina, Aeluropoda, and Princisia; I also hear that the genus will not hybridize with each other. I regularly travel between the 7 or so shops in my area that sell hissers to pick and choose specimen to add into my colony for new blood and color variation; there have been several times I have come across individual specimen of questionable genus. Is there a trait that can be used to tell the Genus from one another or would it always just be a crap shoot? The main one I'd like to identify is Gromphadorhina since I do not want to waste time with one that will not breed with my colony.
