periplaneta Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i got a few blaberus for free, but no one knows what they are. could they be craniifer or gigantea? the images are blurry. but i did my best with the cam & lightning conditions offered. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 These are definately not B. craniifer. How many mm long is the adult in the picture? That can tell if its giganteus or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periplaneta Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 about 60-65mm. its quite large. and really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The markings resemble B. giganteus but 65mm is too small even for a male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The markings resemble B. giganteus but 65mm is too small even for a male. Maybe a hybrid, gigantues crossed with something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Nobody thinks of Blaberus fusca anymore.... like a poor neglected stepchild.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 lol Nice analogy Matt. I guess fusca fits the bill. TRUE fusca, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

periplaneta Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Ok. so what could it be? most likly a hybrid of something? And, how should i keep them? humid or dry like dubias? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
