serpent Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am keeping a small number (~50) in a critter carrier (about a 3 gallon). So I am curious on how others keep their Green Banana's in. I am really would like to get a large colony going as I heard that they make excellent feeders for chameleons or other aboreal lizards (which I keep).

Allpet Roaches Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 A bucket cage works great to keep this species contained. Panchlora nymphs don't climb and are quite easy to contain, it's the adults that climb and fly. The nymphs are also a great feeder. Most critter carrier type cages I've seen have pretty big holes in the top that the adults could probably pass through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpent Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yes, that is what is happening. I guess I will be constructing a bucket cage for them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EffeCi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Here's a picture of the bucket cage I use for little climbing/flying roaches like Panchlora... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricktop Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I've kept mine in a 5 gallon glass aquarium, all my previous colonies failed with the niveas but this one's been successful- and i disagree regarding the nymphs being poor climbers, i've found p nivea nymphs in almost every roach tank i've got and it's not the adults getting out!

PeriplanetaAmericana Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I use an hermetic cage of 40x30x35 (sorry, I don't know how many gallons are) and I made a hole and put in it metalic mesh, like EffeCi's cage. Mines have substratum for the ninphs. Best regards, Javier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
