dociledragons Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I am wanting to know what the largest roach available for purchase that can't climb glass. I just want to breed a pair for my personal interests. Also where the pair is available. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Blaberus giganteus (Giant Cave Cockroach) is the LONGEST roach species. You will most likely have to acquire them as nymphs because the adults do not ship well (I speak from experience of receiving adults dead). Both the adults and nymphs do not climb glass. This species can mysterious die when trying to shed its wings though. You can get them from roach crossing (link to the right) http://www.roachcros...gpetroaches.htm Also, if you keep 2 males together, they will most likely kill each other. By the way, the peppered roach is also quite large and docile to handle. They also do not have the mysterious die off problem. You can get them from the same website. Like Blaberus giganteus, they too can't climb glass as adults or nymphs. I will be acquiring this species soon Are you going to make a natural setup for them?

dociledragons Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I was thinking the Giant Cave Roach would be the one I was going to get but, I'm interested in the pepered roach now. Also, I would be making it a natural habbitate. Any sugjustion for the cave roach or peppered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dociledragons Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 I ended up purchasing peppered roaches. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Would like to see pictures of the setup. Not many people make natural setups for roaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
