Briene Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 got a few new species recently from Kyle <3. fusca - dusky cave roach B.cabrerai - striped burrowing roach Panchlora sp. - giant banana roach A.insignis - flat horn hisser pairI lol *runs to room with sweet pepper bag*. My Tesselata's are doing great! After adjusting the husbandry a bit they are molting into robust vibrant adults with lovely wings. Waiting for two nymphs to grow into a big sweet colony is slow and exciting! I would def reccomend. The new roaches arived and I come to a realization that I'm a space case and had nothing ready. *runs to walmart,busts out rotozip,glue gun,screen,scissors,vasaline,egg flats,mulch,moss* Hmmmm remember you can always ad shelves : P Portentosa nymphs! G.Oblongata! He's a big boy. Picked up a tegu *Bundy* Hanging out at the Expo with my Son . Not vending this show just visiting.....little ones can't resist tiny turtles. It will be a shame if they actually suscesfully ban selling these profitable gems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Great photos! Note to self, DON'T eat the peppers! my female G. Oblongata could be larger than your male I keep meaning to post a photo. It's so hard with kids because they want everything but don't know animals actually need our help to live but when a kid is old enough to start helping care for a pet it really shows great responsibility and companionship.

Bamboo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 is that packing tape barrier on the roach bin ? I swore hissers can climb all over it , perhaps I'm wrong .... I've been thinking about starting a hisser species collection myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briene Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 yup clear packing tape....as you can see they are all haulted at the start of it lol. Then there is a layer of vaseline above that. It helps emensly .... but those little fucks tend to escape still every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Can you measure that big male G.Oblongata? Are your males heavier and bigger than your females? Mine are. I thought selling freshwater turtles (e.g., red-eared slider) was already illegal. Educate me please!! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briene Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 If your selling them with a disclaimer claiming they are for educational purposes then I do believe it's still legal.....They are trying to take away that privilege . So much for education hahahaha. I will get the finer details at the next swap! I shall measure that boy today. I do believe that pair just had their first batch of nymphs <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sons cute also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
