Sorry to hear that, seems like a lot of people have trouble with this genus. What was your husbandry method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Got this species again back in November 2020, started with 10 individuals and went up to 90+ in a mere 6 months, shows how well this species can breed if given adequate ventilation and heat.

WarrenB Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Very nifty. If I saw these under a log, I'd completely mistake them for pillbugs or pill millipedes. (And wonder why all those flies were hanging around them, into the bargain) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 More adult pics. Also, I propose we change the common name of this species to "Pygmy Roly-poly Roach" rather than just "Roly-poly Roach", since there are now at least three species of Perisphaerus in US culture alone, and all species in the genus Perisphaerus roll into balls. What do you think @Allpet Roaches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
