FlamingSwampert Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi, I remember a species of Blaberus being available on roachcrossing.com that is no longer listed on the site. I don't known if Kyle himself is on the forum, but perhaps even someone with a good memory (or advanced species knowledge) can determine what it was. The species in question was a tan-brown color with the standard Blaberus head stamp, but the photo was a bit dark. It didn't grow super large, and it's temperature requirements were lower than the other species (I believe they started at 68 degrees F). I think it was named after a South American country, but I'm unsure. I definitely remember the description mentioning the species living around drainage areas. Thanks!

Hisserdude Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Blaberus cf. chacoensis "Pantanal" probably. Sadly all but lost from US culture, only one person still has a small handful of individuals left in the US, which may or may not reproduce. He's also removed Blaberus sp. "Venezuela" from his site, weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you mentioned that, I didn't even notice the disappearance of Blaberus sp. "Venezuela"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Maines, unfortunately the adults he received were rather old, so he's not sure if they'll breed or not. But a couple look plump and gravid, so fingers crossed!
