Paulie Bleeker Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 new to all this, so sorry if my question seems stupid. what factors constitutes a roach being deemed easy or difficult to keep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'd say its how forgiving it is about its environment. some roaches will take a big range in temperature, humidity and diet, others need very specific ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 And there are no stupid roach questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Bleeker Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 thanks, would it be a safe assumption that a species deemed intermediate just needs a consistent temp. (within proprer range) and a substrate with a certain level of moisture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Sounds about right. It might have a quirk like being difficult to feed or being sensitive to something easy species aren't. Then again, some of us (*cough*) struggle with hissers, and they're meant to be foolproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Bleeker Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 thanks again, im tossing around the idea of getting Gyna centurio but at around $10 each i dont want to get into more than i can handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A species gets to be intermediate once they need specific food, humidity, temps ect ect. What is your hardest species you own right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Bleeker Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 nothing hard just common hissers and dubia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I would definitely wait on Gyna centurio with that skill level. If you want to get into the Gyna species, I would start with either Gyna lurida or Gyna caffrorum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Bleeker Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 thanks for the tip, what makes g. centurio more difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Bleeker Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 so i can try to hone those aspects of my husbandry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not sure as I haven't kept them yet. If you want good care opinions talk to cariblatta or Kyle kandillian about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
