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.
I was feeding and watering and though I would do an update feeding video of my Blaberus discoidalis roaches. Discoids make a good alternative feeder to B. dubia roaches. Discoids are a little larger, more meat for size. They breed pretty good in large numbers. Discoids have a bit more defensive odor than B. dubia, but nothing overwhelming and nothing like the stench of crickets. If your looking for a good alternative feeder, discoids well suffice. Checkout my website for availability and pricing.

I was separating one of my G. potentosa roach bins and managed to catch some males left in the bottom fighting, or as I call it, jousting for territory. Cheap entertainment and hilarious to watch. I have probably around 50 or so extra males housed together and they can make quite a ruckus at night between all the jousting going on. They move the egg flats and there food dish around the bin.

A brief update on my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. (GBB) that I purchased back in August 09. They were half inch then and now 3″+. They have molted around 4 times now in my care. They’ll take down adult male B. dubia without a problem. Quite a move up from the B. lateralis they were eating.

A brief tutorial of how I pack my tarantulas safely for shipping. Always use appropriate size container for tarantula being shipped. Line bottom, sides and top with tissue, napkin or similar. You want to mimic a burrow for the tarantula so it feels at home and also the tissue helps protect the tarantula during shipment.
After adding tissue linning, moisten slightly to help keep tarantula hydrated during its trip. Once you coax the tarantula into the container, cover with cap and place in insulated box with heat or cold pack. depending on season along with packing material to keep tarantula safe and stable during transit. This is how I pack and ship, with great success.
