| I got 2.3.0 Six-spotted roaches today (along with the 2 redheads and some isopods). I'm hoping they don't stay burrowed all the time now.  This is a good day. |

| Sweet! Roaches are fun. I'm excited that at least half of my B. fusca are mature.  _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

| wow congrats on ya new roaches
I've to have an eye on those redheads
don't know too much on other species or latin names on them, but i do know what i like
most people trip out when i tell them i have tarantulas, scorpions, millipedesand and centipedes, but they totally wig out once they heard i have hissers and the dubia and up until today i had discords, i gave the whole colony away to a member on here
i just wish i knew where i can get other types of roaches other then just the typical feeders
like thoses redheads
btw, thismay sounds stupid( but i don't care if it does) what is an Isopod, not even sure if i ever seen one |

I got them for free for helping out someone on AB. I have no idea the going rate and the guy I got them from is just starting up a colony so I doubt he has any for sale.  They aren't particularly interesting though, the are burrowed constantly. |

| The pillbugs are a small species of millipede. Isopods (sowbugs) are crustaceans, therefore need it extra moist just to breath right. Many people keep them in their tropical tanks since they will eat just about any dead/decaying matter. |
