charzard Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I am entirely new to keeping cockroaches and I'm looking into blaberus craniifer and Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Which would you suggest? Or any other suggestions? I'm looking on BIC to purchase them from. Thank you ahead of time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Those are good starter roaches, so you can't go wrong with either. Another species you could look at is Archimandrita tesselata, the peppered roach. Hemiblaberus tenebricosa is another good starter, but they're very shy so you won't see them very often.

Hisserdude Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I've found that Blaberus atropos are easy to keep and are great for handling, I'd definitely recommend them as a good beginner species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenevanica Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Any hisser is a good start. Blaberus craniifer are pretty too, but they tend to be a bit skittish. Keep that in mind if you intend on handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
