Allpet Roaches

Any invertebrate topic would probably be good though most articles are species accounts related to husbandry. Normal length is 1200-2000 words. The audience is adult invert enthusiasts. Scientific accounts are great but detailed anecdotes may be just as interesting. Additional photographs or charts are great but not required.

It might be a good experiment.

It is a great supplementary food but probably would fail miserably if used as the only food. No worries about overfeeding it.

Still looking for articles

Both are currently valid species though if synonymized in the future petiveriana would be the only correct name. The difference for the description is the color of the hind wings.

I use a mix of all sorts of hardwood tree leaves. Hibiscus flowers are decent food for various roaches.

I'm sure they're fine as a small part of the diet.

And this is where I digress... walnuts contain copper and if eaten as the only food for long enough might be harmful in the same way too much iron can be harmful to humans.

The C. murina stock were collected in Florida. They do fine at room temperature and with mostly closed containment (they don't require ventilation levels some species need).

I think as decoration they'd be relatively safe since your pets are unlikely to eat a naturally occuring seed/nut/pod that is harmful to them.

Did you figure out what these came from? Does seem like something leftover from a food item.

They can coexist for years in the same culture container but the pruinosus tend to breed much faster.

sorry to hear you had a collecting trip to remember.

Thanks!

Found one.
