Tenevanica Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Welcome to my first post on roachforum.com! (I'm not new to the hobby though. Don't get confused there.) I saw centurion roaches available for sale on capecodraoches.com. I'd like to have some, but I hear that they can be trickier to keep than other Gyna sp. Is that true? Are they still easy to rear? And, if anyone has ever dealt with Cape Cod Roaches, I would appreciate it if you could tell me about your experience. Are they a dealer I should avoid? Thanks!

Sleepy Lemur Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I bought gyna caffrorum from cape cod roaches and was very pleased. Quick shipping, no DOAs. I think you're safe to buy from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Haha, welcome to the roach forum Tenevanica! As far as I know the only hard part of keeping these is that they prefer a "moist substrate with good aeration", according to Kyle, which I assume means a chunky, airy substrate. Something like coconut fiber mixed in with cypress mulch and long fibred sphagnum moss. They are apparently a good transition to the more harder Gyna, G.capucina and G.bisannulata. I haven't ordered from Capcod roaches myself, but they seem to have good reviews. And they have some REALLY rare roaches in their collection! Here is the review page for them on this forum: http://www.roachforu...?showtopic=5921 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
