Roachfreak101 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Mine is Archimandrita tesselata, the peppered roach. I think they are really cool, they make a great display specimen just because of their size! I would pick one up, put it on my hand, and it would just stay there while i walked around with it. What is your favorite and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Driggers Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'd have to say my favorite species that I have kept so far would have to be B. dubia mostly because of the individual personality differences, they are also a great feeder roach, and at this time all of my roaches are feeders. My favorite that I haven't kept yet would be domino roaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsc Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I gotta go with the Austrailian Giant Rhino Roaches (Macropanesthia)... I really love the Macropanesthia and panesthia species roaches... but the glowspots are REALLY growing on me... hard to pick just one.

Peter Clausen Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Easy one for me. Ergaula capucina! Maybe because it sounds and looks like a cappuccino with a swirl of cream (male has a beige band). The female is so beetle-like. Anybody out there have these in culture? Been a good seven years since I've seen them Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I just can't do it! I can, however, show you my favorite hisser ever (biggest giant stock I've seen, they do vary a lot). Anyone claiming to have seen one this big must include a photo with measuring device. I have a big hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanut Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I like the Discoid, a pretty roach thats a great feeder. I had some dubias but like the looks of the Discoids better. I"m waiting to get a dozen Peppereds that i have a feeling will be my new favorite (pet Roach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Wow, those hissers look like walking cigars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hmm... I like hissers, but orange heads and discoids are growing on me. Baby discoids are soooooooo cute! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slizarus Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm a huge fan of Blaberus Craniifer and Hissers (Giants, Blacks, Tigers, or any of the other Genus/Species like Princesses) I really really miss my hisser colony. I got 100 giant adults for $25 shipped one time, man I wish I could find that deal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Nagash_ Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Neostylopyga rhombifolia or my hissers. They are all so cool Regards Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Blaptica Dubia are our favorites currently. They are hardy, non-climbers, no scent, slow, and breed at a good rate but not excessively fast. They are also awesome feeders for our Leopard, Gargoyle, and Crested Geckos. I've grown so attached to them I feel bad feeding them to my gang sometimes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrd Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 We finally got some pics of some of our big males...and couldn't resist adding just one layer of the nursery...lol There are sooooo many...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roachsmith Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Wow! Those are some long hissers! I don't think I have any that look quite like that. It's hard to pick a favorite roach. I like my Archmandrita tesselata a lot though. My nymphs are giant. I can't wait to see what the adults look like. They're really active too and don't mind me watching them eat.

Allpet Roaches Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Where'd you get your hisser stock from? They may be closely related to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugnut Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Where'd you get your hisser stock from? They may be closely related to mine. I got giant morphs and black morphs from Olivia at BugChick.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
