Bricktop Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 hello, I've been raising exotic roaches/arthropods since 2001 or so, and it's great to see a community specifically for roaches and i'd like to thank Allpet Roaches for that. I've got the book and such (although i know there is a new edition out) . Orrin - you probably won't remember me as one of your customers but i bought a few beetles and millipedes from you in 02 or 03. At first i was annoyed because those beetles (desert skunk beetles i believe) weren't breeding for me, but to their credit, those things lived for somewhere around 3 or 4 years. the roach species i currently have are: Gromphadorhina portentosa Blaberus craniifer Blaberus giganteus Blaberus discoidalis Nauphoeta cinerea Pancholora nivea Blaptica dubia I've owned several other species in the past, including A. tesselata, and i hope i can get some new colonies started while sorting on some of the old ones, i found this site simply by searching for allpet on yahoo.

Allpet Roaches Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Welcome! I don't remember the name bricktop but I imagine that's not your given name It can be difficult to provide the conditions most darklings need for egg laying. I hope we can keep your enthusiasm for roaches going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachsmith Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi Bricktop! Looks like you have a nice roach collection! I would like to try breeding some local beetles one day. I had some rhino beetles for a while. They were really cool but didn't lay any eggs for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricktop Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Welcome! I don't remember the name bricktop but I imagine that's not your given name It can be difficult to provide the conditions most darklings need for egg laying. I hope we can keep your enthusiasm for roaches going. You might recognize the name (and avatar) from the film "Snatch". As for me, i must have flooded your email box with questions back then, but what can i say? I was young and stupid . I've tried some local species of beetles but i don't know, insects that go through 4 stages are far more difficult to deal with than simply egg-nymph-adult insects, with the exception of mealworms of course. My main interests are another aquatic/semi aquatic species of roach or insect in general, as the idea has kind of interested me for awhile. I had some before, but not enough to start any kind of stable colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
