RoachesAreCute Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am looking for a cockroach that doesn't fly or climb, is easily handled, and doesn't hiss. Any suggestions? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemiblabera tenebricosa, Polyphaga saussurei, all Eublaberus species, all Ergaula species, all Lucihormetica species, Archimandrita tesselata, and all Byrsotria species fit your requirements well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Lucihormetica adults and Ergaula males seem to climb pretty well, but the nymphs of both species certainly can't! However Lucihormetica are heavily inclined to burrow rather than climb, and they are pretty slow moving, so I'd definitely recommend them as a good pet genus.

Lol I guess I kind of forgot about the climbing abilities of Lucihormetica since my individuals are always under decor/substrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my Lucihormetica only ever come out at night, and they usually run/dig for cover as soon as I open the cage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomjoe Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 You want something that breeds slow or fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
