Blattodea313 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 What would be a good size exo terra terrarium for Blaberus giganteus? I currently have an empty 18x18x24. I read that they grow slow, so would the cage get crowded fast? I plan on getting a starter colony of 6. By the way, would B. fusca be fine too (for that size terrarium).

jebbewocky Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yeah, I wouldn't do that for either species unless you plan on culling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Mine are in a 20gal with some H.tenebricosa and I find I'm always wishing I had a bigger tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks, I just found the receipt for the old tank and exchanged it out for a 36x18x18. It is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 By the way, do the H. tenebricosa make good cage mates with most species of cockroach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't know about most, but they seem to get along well enough with my giganteus. I'd imagine any Blaberus would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
