Martin Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hello! Nice to meet you all and thank you for accepting my membership. First of all, I never thought I would be keeping roaches for pets. But now I am. I am an ant keeper he saw himself one day having to order a small colony of red runners, to be able to feed my colonies with diverse sized roaches. Once that colony was exhausted, i ordered another one, and another one, until one day, I decided i should keep them constantly to save money and overcome the winter time where all my colonies would struggle for feeder insects. From those, I jumped by chance to domino roaches, and it was at that moment I started to fell in love with roach keeping. Started buying books, reading what i could and watching videos, etc. Then started to expand my collection. Blatta Lateralis Elliptorhina Javanica Eublaberus Distanti Gromphadorhina Portentosa Gyna Caffrorum Gyna Centurio Lucihormetica Verrucosa Opisthoplatia Orientalis Perisphaerus sp. (Macau) Therea Olegrandjeani Therea Petiveriana This is where it stands at this moment. By the way, I am from Portugal, but I have been living in Macau (South China) for the past 11 years. I am married to a Thai wife, and we regularly go to Thailand - where i hope to be able to catch new roach species for my collection. Nice to meet you all! And Roach Love! Cheers, Martin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Welcome to the forum Martin, nice collection you have there! 😁 I'm particularly interested in the Perisphaerus, any pictures of those? The Perisphaerinae is my favorite cockroach subfamily, and I always love seeing new species entering culture! Interested to see what cool new species you're able to catch where you live and travel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
