Private breeder feeder & pet exotic roaches. Residing in sunny S. Ca. This blog is all about my collection of various critters, past & present. You'll find care sheets, tutorials and various information on my former reptiles & current inverts.
A quick update to those who have followed the progress of my G. rosea breeding project.
I bred her last November 09′. She was getting larger and larger and was due this month! I checked today and she had freshly molted. So it seems I won’t be getting an egg sac after all. Instead I get a fresh molt, what a trade-off.
She is gorgeous though. It’s probably a good thing she molted. Since I had bred her, my roach production and business has skyrocketed. So I wouldn’t have had much time now anyhow, so all is good.

I received 8 Phormictopus cancerides slings on Friday from a trade I did with “whites inverts” on Arachnoboards. The trade was flawless and very positive. The slings are all about ½” and doing well. One even molted a few hours after rehousing as you’ll see on the video. I bought some tattoo ink caps that I’m using as water dishes. They actually work well. Before posting this video, I had noticed one of the slings drinking from it, very cool to see.

After attempting to feed a tokay gecko a B. dubia roach, the gecko didn’t want it. A little while later I noticed the roach had started to molt, so I grabbed my camera and started filming. So, if you have never seen a roach molt, as I hadn’t, heres your chance. The total process was about 15-20 minutes.
