MassExodus Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Howdy everyone, I'm Waylon, I'm a spider guy, a regular at Tarantula Forum, just started collecting roaches and scorpions. I currently keep dubia, lateralis, and E species ivory(ivory heads) as feeders, with a batch of suriname roaches coming. (I want to try them with slings and juvies). I found myself liking hissers, so I got some and now I keep E javanica, G portentosa and I intend to add A insignis to the communal, which is doing fantastic...everyone's having babies, and all life stages of both species are scattered around mingling peacefully, although I have noticed the two species tend to group with their own when the colony is quiet. Anyway I'm late introducing myself, my apologies for that, it's great to be here, and I'm already learning a bunch just browsing your threads, so thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Welcome to the forum! Hope you learn a lot about the wonderful world of roaches! Also cool little community you've got with the E. javanica, and G. portentosa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hey Mass, nice to see your formal introduction. You never did get any pics of the E.sp "Ivory", did you? If so I missed it. Had your hissers are doing well, be prepared for one species to eventually out compete the other though... The A.insignis in particular are supposed to be very prolific.

MassExodus Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks guys. @Hisserdude yeah the ivories are doing well, and I completely forgot to get pics of them for my thread. They seem to like burrowing more then dubia do, but then again I started the colony with nymphs. I can't wait to get some mature adults to photograph. My concern is I'm going to get attached and not want to use them as feeders > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yeah they are a burrowing species, both Eublaberus and Blaberus seem to like burrowing, even as adults. Well if you get attached to them at least you'll have another pet roach species! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
