Hisserdude Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Here are some pictures of my new B.atropos "Florida", this is my first time keeping this genus, and I love them! An individual with a more circular pronotum marking: And one with the more square looking marking found in most Blaberus: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Lemur Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Great pictures, thanks for sharing! I got some of these recently as well, very fun species. Love how they bulldoze through their substrate.if only I could get mine to sit still long enough for photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thank you! I agree, they are a fun species, I really like burrowing species for some reason. I put mine in a small plastic container on my windowsill when I photographed them. After scurrying around for a bit, they seem to realize there is no escape and calm down, usually staying still long enough to get some decent pictures. The windowsill is cool this time of year, so the cold temperatures might make them slow down as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Lemur Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Mine are in a rather large sterlite tub with several inches of substrate, and as soon as I open the lid they're burrowed. Unfortunate because I love getting pictures of my roaches once they mature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Well just dig around for a bit, you should be able to find some after a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Those are nice. The first ones pronotum marking look similar to a pantanal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 That's what I thought as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
