So cute! :) I've had an ornate (possibly Western; our vet's not even 100% sure) box turtle since I was 3 (I'm 18 now. :3) She's a free-roamer in our house and even brumates herself. :P Congrats on the bebies! What species are they though? :o

As far as species, there are Archimandrita tesselata, the giant peppered roach; These are big, lovable, tame roaches that get from 2.8-3.5 inches. Archimandrita marmorata, the ??? peppered roach; These may or may not be in the hobby but if they are, they're more skittish than the tesselata...

If I sold you the big, nice ones, that's them. :)

I have the following species for sale: Archimandrita tesselata (Peppered roach) This is a large species (check out the quarter for size comparison!) that grows slowly but lives long and reproduces gradually. They are excellent pets and are 100% handleable. The males can flutter, but cannot...

I've been raising a large variety of cockroaches for the past 3 years. There's no better way to set up a self-sufficient feeding system than with roaches! P. surinamensis (Surinam Cockroach) 2/$1 N. cinera (Lobster Cockroach) Handful/$10 G. portentosa "Giant morph" (Madagascar Hissing...

Well, she eats them... But it seems like everything I offer her triggers the defensive response. She was eating the same size prey items as a subadult... I was really just wondering if anyone else has a frisky mantis like this. lol

She's been an adult for a week and a half. lol

I have one adult female chinese who will never attack her food normally. She always rears into a full defensive posture and strikes at it, almost like she's out for blood! Anyone else got a mantid like this?

Yep, I've got another bug (pardon the pun) in me to get some new roaches. I have an order for $30 pending. I have Carolina mantids and an adult pair of Chinese to offer, and tons of species of roaches. Contact me here or at [email protected]

As far as invert combos that could work... B. dubia and B. fumigata are cockroaches that don't seem to mind other species. Mix in some pillbugs, mealworms, flour beetles, and larder beetles, and you'll have a pretty neat setup going. :) All of these can be kept on a bedding of bran/flour...

"Gee, this spot looks peculiar!"

The only problem I can see is that the nymphs don't do well with the leaves. :/ I dehydrated them in the oven and then pulverized them and strained out the powder. Right now the recipe looks like this: 1 tablespoon dehydrated sweetgum leaves 1 tablespoon gelatin mix (unflavored) 2...

I thought about going that route. Seemed a little too easy. :P It's a combination of sweetgum, gelatin, and water. :D

By jove, I think I've got it! An easy to make, non-messy, storeable, year-round sweetgum meal! Now to try it on a test group of 'pillars...

Well, now all these replies have me anxious. :P I'm going to the local garden plots to see if I can find some of these tomorrow. :P

I don't have carrots growing this year. ): However, I DO have parsley, and I just checked it today. :P

I'm doing some experiments today with pre-made food using sweetgum leaves. If my recipes work, then others working with these pillars can raise them without having to run and get leaves for them! Wish me luck! :D

Actually... I believe I got the ID wrong. If it was hanging around my carrots, it might actually be a black swallowtail...
