Since when the chameleon forum turned into a FB group?

They are pretty easy to breed. You just need to provide some heat and humidity. If conditions are too dry then the ootheca won't hatch. Those things are fast and the males can glide. Some people are scared of them because they kind of look like a pest cockroach. Some people shared experiences...

There are some people using them, but surinams are definitely not as popular as dubias. As for the container, I use a Sterilite gasket bin. Those containers are great for keeping climbing roaches in.

I've kept surinams for a while now and all I do is keep them in coco fiber. Mist the enclosure every 2 days and throw some vegetables in there at least once a week. You might not even have to mist them that often, if at all if you're offering vegetables but since I'm misting my other colonies...

The following 3 species of grasshoppers can now be legally shipped. Melanoplus differentials Melanoplus femurrubrum Melanoplus sanguinipes Also, one specie of katydid can now be legally shipped as well. Microcentrum rhombifolium Here's a link to the list of species that have been deregulated...

You mentioned in your first post that you wanted a female since some phasmids reproduce through parthenogenesis. But is the specie you have one that does that? There isn't much information about that specie out there so I'm wondering if you know that A. busprestoides reproduces through...

Sand is not recommended because it can be abrasive to the roaches. It is also hard to create a humidity gradient with sand, if you're going for that. As mentioned before, use coco fiber for substrate and cork barks or egg crates for hiding. Or go with no substrate and use egg crates. Most of the...

They do get all the moisture they need from food. However, I still like to mist the sides of the enclosure and the roaches drink from the droplets

I have the following species for sale. Must pick up in Austin, TX. Eublaberus sp. "Ivory" 100/$50 Eublaberus posticus 50/$20 Elliptorhina javanica 10/$20 Pycnoselus surinamensis 100/$15 Porcellio dilatatus 25/$15 I would also consider trades for the following: Armadillidium maculatum Porcellio...

Nice! Haha

I use Sterilite bins. For climbing/flying species I use the gasket bins. For non-climbing roaches I use the bins with the latches.

Have you ever checked the temperatures? I have all my roaches in a closet in my apartment's balcony. It seems the highest it gets in there is 90°F and never had a problem. I'm in Austin by the way.

Adults of P. striatus do climb and apparently may be able to fly. If you want a feeder roach in the smaller side then you look into Pycnoselus surinamensis. They're a lot cheaper and more readily available. But the adults and larger nymphs are able to climb. Fun fact, in case you did not know...

I believe that wild rocket is a type of arugula

People still sell them on FB but you have to message them directly to get prices and stuff. I guess the thing now is that sellers can't post what they're selling. Also, there are many websites out there with people selling isopods. Honestly, the majority of people selling on FB already have a...
