Locality unknown So you mean to say that the zoo did not have any documentation from whom they acquired it from and when? If they think its pure strain and wild caught, then they must have something to base that idea on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roaches Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 The Zoo got this species 12 years ago. It came with a shipment from South America which was intercepted at the time by the customs. The zoo keeper from then has retired and at one point in the last years they lost the papers.

Ralph Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It looks a lot like Blaberus fusca, which may or may not be a valid species. About how big is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
