    Could you describe the incubator that you have setup? Sounds like you did the smart thing only hatching a portion of them at a time!

    what is the best way to feed out banana roaches

    How are you raising them by the way? I don't know of any other way to feed them off than by hand...probably wouldn't want to turn any loose in the enclosure.

    I have a moth!!!

    Whoa! It's taking 2 months for the caterpillars to reach full size? Hey could you post picture(s) in your thread of the current size and how old they are (the latest batch you are raising?)
