Epilampra maya Rhabdoblatta formosana Nice, I used to have R.formosana, a very pretty species for sure! Too bad they are so dang hard to keep happy long term, gave mine up because I just didn't want to deal with their crap anymore, (metaphorically, and literally! ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and the dead bodies really stack up after a few months! Unfortunately all the clean up crews I tried housing with them besides springtails only made things worse, so you have to pull that stuff out by hand, or else they completely stop breeding... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've been making it a habit to change out their substrate every once and a while which was easy when it was just adults. Now I've got a ton of nymphs though and so it's going to get tricky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
