hisserman Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Treat them like other hissers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just like hissermman said, I care for them like any other hisser. I, however, find them much easier to handle than their larger cousins because the spines on their legs are much smaller, making them super easy to catch! And of course, they're super pretty!

Wolverine Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Great. My hissers are doing great should be a good project. Built a hisser condo using 2"black pvc in 7"sections 3 every level glued together. With screen as ladders. The water crystals are placed at the top which keeps them cleaner longer. The babies stay close to water makes monitoring my colony easier. So exciting colorful cockroaches yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverine Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Finally got some e javanica. Small maybe compared to a oblongata, had a pinky sized hisser in mind lol. Then they came, now compared to most of my cultures this would be considered a big roach. Very attractive active roach a much larger appetite then my g portentosa at least one roach is moving around tank at all times. Soon to have a 40gl full 2 ladies are prego yes maybe more. Great roaches! Soon to have pics of a large tank full. Don't get jealous lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
