They're even better in person really are so stunning.

[@GregTechnology]

@@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals Can we expect to see them on display at the park some time?

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

@@GregTechnology If i breed enough numbers then I might donate some to the park

[@cs4870]

Those are incredible! I’ve never seen metallic roaches and now I feel like I might need some! I’m going to start looking for more information on these beauties! Thanks for the video! Cheers from Ohio, USA

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

Thanks for watching, they are fantastic to keep and watch, and I've found them pretty easy to keep and breed so far once they got going.

[@whisper8742]

Big green rollie pollies!

I call em the Magnificent Roach.

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

They are magnificent for sure

[@bradleyhumphrey4505]

Loved the video! And definitely well said they are a very misunderstood creature I have a growing collection of roaches as well and I have found they are quite amazing in there communal habitats and all of the species I have are all very clean .I’m definitely going to pick up some of these guys when available!

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. Yeah Cockroaches are amazing creatures and make great pets.

[@jasonwithaw9992]

I know this is an old video, but can these cockroaches cross breed with a different type. I know not all types.

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

Hey I don't think they can but I keep these by themselves

[@johannelauvland-hegdal5620]

So as ive understood, they need kind of a similar climate as a crestie? Also, how big enclosure should i get for them and how many should i buy? Sorry not a lot of info on these guys on google so gotta ask you😅

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

I currently keep and breed these in a large standard critter keeper with a strip of vaseline round the top as they can climb smooth surfaces. I have cork leant against the side spray twice a week and feed on fruit and veg also bee pollen and fish flakes

[@Davidgoldd]

Thank you for this video, it's very informative! I actually keep this species myself since about 2 weeks now. I love how active they are and i noticed that they like to climb a lot, i keep them with live plants. Do you offer them anything to climb on vertically? I've also read that they need a heat source (i have a heat bulb) and i keep it around 24-30 degrees Celcius. Do you have a heat source? I haven't seen any in the video. I feed them milipede food and fruits/beepollen. After they've matured i'm going to try to breed them aswell. I'll definitely keep an eye out for your future vids!

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

Hey thanks for watching, yeah they are a very active species and yeah do climb a lot, I have a large piece of cork bark and a stick in their tub for climbing currently I'm planning on doing a planted set up for them as a display. I don't have any extra heat source for them I heat the room to around 25c. They love bee pollen powder and fish flakes and also feed them fruits and veg. They are breeding well for me.

[@exuviumisopods]

Great species. From what I remember bee pollen should be kept in the fridge? I have pollen for the Orius laevigatus beetle, can that pollen be used as well?

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

They are the pollen I have doesn't need to be in the fridge, I don't know but could be worth a try

[@AlexM-sg8fn]

These are truly spectacular! Nice vid, cheers! Might have to get a couple of starter colonies myself, are they fairly easy to keep would you say? And is there a certain food stuff that you would say is essential to their long term health ie bee pollen? Many thanks, Al

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

Hey thanks for watching and yeah they are amazing little things. I have found fairly simple to keep and breed so far, I keep them well ventilated with moist substrate and cork and sticks for climbing. Food wise I provide Bee pollen, fish flakes, apple, carrot, potato and sweet potato.

[@AlexM-sg8fn]

@@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals sounds very straight forward in the scheme of things, they are really neat! Thanks for taking the time to reply, appreciated : ) - I have subscribed (yesterday!)

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

@@AlexM-sg8fn Thanks for the sub. Yeah they haven't been challenging for me once I got adult males and females. Now I see nymphs all the time.

[@georgemccrory1192]

Hey, just found your vid as I've beening looking for info on these guys for a little while. I got my colony if you could call it that from the spider shop. I was wondering if you could tell me when the males get wings? as I'm not sure if i have any though i don't have any adults.

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

Hey, the males get their wings with their final molt when they mature, but if you turn them over and look at the last segments of the abdomen females have 2 fused segments making one large segment at the end and males have smaller segments. Good luck with yours they are a fantastic species.

[@georgemccrory1192]

@@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals sadly from the quick look i just had I don't think i have any males. Do you know of any videos/pictures that show the segments? I want to make sure i understand you correctly.

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

They can be difficult if they are small. I had to get 3 starter colonies from 3 suppliers before I got males. A quick Google search for sexing cockroaches brings up photos of this with other species.

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

A true jewel of the roach world... Thanks for sharing your setup!

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

They really are, and are great fun to watch.

[@vermis8344]

These look spectacular. I'm getting envious here. I see that nymph on the twig - do the nymphs of these climb rather than burrow, compared to Panchlora?

[@IncredibleInvertsOtherAnimals]

Hi yeah the nymphs climb everywhere as do the adults including smooth surfaces.
