bulldog08 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well I have been lurking for awhile now and decided I would finally post to say hello. I recently got interested in roaches. I got some b. dubias to feed my other inverts and decided I like the roaches just as well. I only have 2 species B. dubia and A.tesselata. I don't know what to get next, but I want something fun to watch. Anyhow thanks for letting me be part of this great forum, there is a lot of great info here.

arachyd Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Welcome! I'm a 2-species newbie myself, B. dubia & G. lurida. I'm constantly learning new things about them. I started with dubia to begin a feeder colony and caught myself watching them and actually being interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son, who just turned 3, loves my roaches. He is sad when I feed my spiders and has to pet all the roaches lol. I am just waiting for a call from school when he tells them we have thousands of roaches in our house. I'll have to check out some hissers, any recommendation on species?

mikeee Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 hey Bulldog, Gromphadorhina portentosa are easyto take care of and breed and are very easy to aquire, im sure there are many members here who are willing to help you out if you want to purchase some. When they become adults your son can freak out some of his little friends when he is holding a 3 inch hisser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
