I am interested in this cockroach. Please help me. What are the needs for keeping and breeding?
Orin McMonigle
Hi Aron,
Did you get a source of livestock? It's not as common as it used to be. What kind of details are you looking for? It's kept like other tropical egg layers. 75-85F, some humidity for eggcases. Dog food and some fruit for feeding.

They have a similar disposition to Eurycotis but can't walk across barriers as nymphs.
