This weekend I received 10 small nymphs of Periplaneta japonica.
This is my first Periplaneta species. I was always very fearful of jumping into Periplaneta because of their looks, speed, climbing abilities, etc... but after receiving these beauties, I think I was mistaken.

They are super chilled nymphs... they are not bolty at all. I managed to have one nymph staying put on the same place, while i took photos for at least 10 minutes.
One thing that I didn't expect was that these nymphs are poor climbers 🤔 ... it was awkward
Lets hope they remain like this while growing up.
It is a small colony, and I am already considering to buy another 20... I like my starter colonies to be 30 individuals at least.
What are your experiences with Periplaneta species? Any tips/suggestions/comments?
I will keep you updated on their progress!
Thank you,
Cheers!
