Hisserdude Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Welcome! When I first got into bugs, I was horrible at the latin names. Now I have tons of them permanently etched into my brain! The dubia are Blaptica dubia, and the peppereds are Archimandrita tesselata. Hope you enjoy the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 thanks! I've always liked big bugs since i was a kid. my collection also includes a 4in. chilean rosy hair and 5in.brazilian giant bird eater t's. the dubias are for their food! the peppered are for pets! and maybe food if they over populate. biggest challenge i have up here is keeping these tropical species warm enough. our winters hit -30f in jan. and feb. quite often and in this trailer it gets pretty cold at times.

Salmonsaladsandwich Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 If you're peppereds overpopulate, you definitely shouldn't feed them. You should sell them. Actually, no. Give them to me for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 i could possibly trade when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
