entity Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hey everybody, I am a newb, i am just getting into the scientificnames and everything for roaches. And i want to get some but not sure where to start. The bigger the better! for me anyway. What is a good starter do u guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 If you want a big, easy to keep roach I would suggest any of the Madagascan hisser speices, Blaberus are also a blast and some species can get quite large! Hemiblabera tenebricosa is a great species to keep, they are very easy to care for, get big, and are nice for handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Archimandrita tesselata could be another good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenevanica Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Blaberus collosus is my recommendation. They are big, easy to care for, and are sure to scare/impress your non-roach-hobby friends. Either that or any cockroaches in the genus (that's the first word in the scientific name) Gromphadorhina. These are your classic hissing cockroaches. They too get big, are easy to care for, and some (like Gromphadorhina grandidieri) are stunning! You can't beat the personality of a hissing roach!
