@Auz, let me know if you ever come across any Texas ironclads, I may want some as well! I will try to get some good pictures if I can. As for pricing, PM me and we can talk some more. Here is a photo of a Southern California Eleodes sp. that I collected today. Let me know if your interested...

Hello all, I am looking for an active, easy-to-keep (and breed), terrestrial if not arboreal roach species to keep in a new multi species vivarium I am setting up. Any suggestions? I'd love to keep Eublaberus sp. or Panchlora sp. in the enclosure, but they burrow so much I think they might...

Hey all, I recently acquired (EDIT: 6) Blaberus giganteus, and I need some care advice. Can I keep them like Eublaberus sp., or do they have some special requirements? Thanks, Arthroverts

...What would they say? Hello everyone! I got the idea to start this from a National Geographic Kids magazine, and on Arachnoboards there is already Fangbook for arachnids. So I thought, the roaches have got to have a social media platform too! We can all pretend to be a few roaches (or other...

Hey all, just a quick backstory; I have purchased 9 Platymeris sp. "Mombo" over the years, and of the six that have made it to maturity, all have been males. I currently have 4 males still remaining, and I need an adult female. I am willing to trade for or buy the female within reason. A freshly...

Hey all, I had bought some 12+ Therea petiveriana a while back (about a year or two ago). I raised two to maturity (unfortunately they didn't breed), but then the group just sort of died out it seemed. I was recently using the old substrate in their cage for some isopod enclosures, and I noticed...

Hey all, I've got a few things I'm selling to get ready for some new additions, so here goes! ADDING: 10 San Gabriel Mountains Darkling Beetles (Coelocnemis sp.)$4 apiece, or take 5 or more@$4 apiece. 3 Blue Death Feigning Beetles (Asbolus verrucosus)@$15 apiece, or take all three for...

Hello all, I am working on a multi-species millipede display tank, and I have a question about possible hybridization between some Spirostreptus species. I have a large (but I don't think mature) male/female pair of Spirostreptus sp. "Green Fairy Tail". The smaller one (the male I believe) is...

Hello all, I am trying to clear some space on my racks, so I am getting rid of two terrariums for sale or trade. I am only offering local pick up in Southern California for obvious reasons. The first is 6 3/8" by 6 3/8" by 7 1/4" glass cage with a pothos bush and two pieces of Joshua Tree Bark...

Hey all, just putting the word out that the Invertebrate Club of Southern California (ICSC) is starting up! Check it out at...

Hello all, the new Invertebrate Club of Southern California (ICSC, this will be the name of the club unless otherwise noted) is forming now! All hobbyists who can attend are welcome! This club will seek to increase the understanding and knowledge of invertebrates of all kinds (roaches...

It sounds like a great idea in theory. However, while most of the isopod species you suggest are already established within the U.S, many other kinds of isopods and most roach species are not (not counting Blatta sp.). If some were to get out of the composting enclosure (you probably won't be...

Hello all, I am in a relatively desperate need of one or two female Platymeris sp. "Mombo". I have two males that matured over six months ago, and I would like to get a female before they die so I can keep on propagating this species. I would prefer to buy, but I will trade one of the males for...

Hey all, I have got three vivariums that need filling, preferably with invertebrates of some kind. I would like a multi-species tank in there, and as you can see, they are mostly tropical. I was already thinking arboreal cockroaches (anyone know a good species or two?), amblypygi, orthopterans...

Hello all, I just caught a male-female pair of mature (looks like their mature anyway) Parcoblatta americana, and since I would like to breed this species, does anybody know about their general care? Housing? Feeding? Breeding? Looking forward to learning from the community! Thanks in advance...

Hello all,  1. Do you currently raise any roaches? Therea petiveriana, hopefully Eublaberus posticutis, and Parcoblatta americana 2. If so, how many? 10-12 Therea petiveriana, Eublaberus posticutis 8-10, 2 Parcoblatta americana. 3. Do you culture roaches as pets or feeders? 4. If feeders...
