(COPY & SEARCH LINK) https://www.ebay.com/itm/324464193492 (ROACH INFO) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Species: "Shadow" Burrowing Cockroaches (Pycnoscelus nigra) Available As: 5ct, 10ct, 15ct, 20ct & 25ct Available Sizes: All stages to ensure a well-rounded starter colony Sex: Parthenogenetic Reproduction (All Female) (CARE) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Basics: Pycnoscelus nigra is a beautiful, hardy, prolific, & low-maintenance smaller roach species. Adults and nymphs exhibit a shiny coal-black coloration with golden strips. They are parthenogenetic, meaning the members of this species consists entirely & only of females! The name "Shadow Roaches" refers to how they live in the shadows of deep layers of soils/substrate (at least 2 - 3 inches). They are an excellent "feeder/clean up crew" species for critters such as small lizards, frogs, etc. Temperature: "Shadow" cockroaches are fine at room temperature, but will grow and breed much faster if kept warmer, up to 85F. You may wish to use a heat pad or heat lamp in order to provide them with warmth. Housing Humidity: We recommend keeping hissing cockroaches at 50%+ humidity if at all possible. Shadow Cockroaches will survive at lower room humidity, but will thrive in the 60-70% humidity range. Keep the coconut fiber bedding damp, and mist frequently. Feeding: Keep a small food and water bowl in their home. We recommend using any dry roach feed along with adding in some fresh fruit and vegetables, such as Bananas (whole), Carrots, Lettuce, Oak leaves, Oatmeal, Orange slices, Pearl barley, Potato, Peaches, Plums & should be offered a few times a week. Enclosure: "Shadow" cockroaches should be housed in a smaller enclosure. They seem to breed best when kept slightly crowded & also keeps them in close proximity with their food and water. I use egg cartons for media on top of 2" to "3 of substrate(for burrowing). I will mist the tank or dump water into the back half were it will naturally evaporate and provide humidity.
