Matttoadman Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Not quite enjoying my motionless pantanal enclosure, hoping the adults will be more active once they molt. Any species that don't run and hide at the slightest movement? In case you wondered, pantanal can see red lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hmmm, maybe hissers? Any of the Therea species? Blaberus would probably make great display species as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Lemur Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 My G. Oblongata tend to stay out in the open quite a bit. In fact, they're one of the only species that doesn't move when I turn the lights on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varnon Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hissers. Each individual is different, but a lot of them are like, ... it, I aint skeered. Many will eat from your hands too after being picked up. I've heard peppered roaches are very calm as well. I suspect that many larger species are calmer.

Salmonsaladsandwich Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah, definitely hissers. Unlike most roaches they don't fear light and don't seem to be very thigmotactic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingerlakefeeders Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Peppered, some Death Heads and Wide Horns. Actually, I believe my "Wide Horns" are P.vanwaerebecki x G. oblongonata. They stay in the open and are my two year old daughter's favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matttoadman Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thank you guys, I got some E. Javanica and love them. I got to watch one molt into an adult, and last night it was a swarm on the orange slice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
