OK so you definatly don't want hog town herpes! Darn spell checker ! Herps

Google Hog town herpes, you might find a street address but the store is not there anymore.The roaches were brown but very similar in build to P. Nice a, only found 2 to 3 at a time max, usually solitary, 1 per board.

The locale for the biting cockroaches was south Gainesville Florida. I was running around Orlando two weeks ago at night and I did not see any roaches except fairly large "American" cockroaches. I did see 4 types of tree frogs, mediteranian geckos and two anole species.All were exotic except for green and squirrel tree frogs but I guess you would say this is off topic.All were at Disneys Wide World of Sports resort. Oh yea there were some darn big katydids. If I would have found any exotic roaches, they might have come home with me

Wash them and eat them. They are too good to feed to roaches .

I love the desert herps. I got into roaches to feed my bearded dragons. Since then I have gotten 3 Cuban anoles, two collared lizards and 2 leopard lizards. I am not feeding roaches yet till the colony is well established. I don't have any right now but I love me some chuckwallas !

Cool

Export, that's right or maybe we hock those medicinal roaches over here.

Cool I love your set up. I used to keep my snake collection on a rack and tubs like that. How long does it take you to clean all those bins ?

Aeluropoda insignis "Giant morph" isolated!

I am sure size is heritable but I don't know if you would see significant improvement in the first generation.I am going to try to breed my E. Posticus for color and size but it might take a while. Also I don't know how long it would take till inbreeding depression set in and made the line smaller. -
artificial insemination for hybridization is crazy ?

You are talking really steady hands for AI.. I have done it myself on much larger animals and anything smaller than a cow involves steady hands and a very good perception of anatomy of both the male and female. In theory you would be able to cross animals that are seperated by behavior or anatomical barriers. practice is a whole lot different. Before widespread use of DNA genotyping one of the ways to tell how closely animals were related was to inseminate an egg in a petri dish with hamster sperm.We never got any monkey/hamsters or even mice/ hamsters from this but it helped to tell how clos -
Welcome. I don't think anyone knows for sure the nutritional requirements of a roach. I feed high protein cat food for feeding to lizards. Ithink that will be just fine. I think the giants are a little more delicate and need more vegetables though than the average roach. What kind of insectivores do you have ?

Thanks. I don't think it will get that cold in GA in the next 8 days but who knows ? I did not realise I have natural gas heat instead of propane here. Propane has a high delivery fee natural gas is charged per unit like electricity. It could potentially get into the 30 Fahrenheit range. That's way. too cold. I have been keeping them at 90 f and the orange heads are breeding like crazy. I just don't want to screw up a good thing. Thanks for the feedback.
