Porcellio Scaber “Calico” Morph

Porcellio Scaber "Calico"

Porcellio Scaber “Calico”

This is a morph of Porcellio Scaber that is calico in color.  This has been isolated from our scaber colonies and we are currently breeding the colony in the video.  We hope to have these for sale by summer 2018.

Care for Calico Scaber is exactly the same as regular gray Porcellio Scaber.  Room temperature, fish flakes, carrots, alfalfa, dried leaves and coir bedding is all you need to get Scaber calico growing and breeding.

Exciting Yellow Porcellio Scaber Morph

This is a new Porcellio Scaber morph that I found by accident in one of our Scaber colonies.  I have isolated the yellow morphs, which number about 7.  I will update this post as they breed and I will let you know what happens to this gene expression. Hopefully, they will breed true and we will have a yellow morph that makes yellow babies.

Giant Cave Roaches

Giant Cave Roaches

Blaberus Giganteus

Giant Cave Roaches are a very large roach species that requires a certain amount of care to flourish.   They require vertical bark spaces in order to molt and like a deep and moist substrate with fallen leaves and rotten wood.

They love orange slices and fish flakes but will eat almost any of the normal roach fare.

Keep them between 70 Degrees and 85 degrees for best growth and breeding.

Their enclosure should be tall to allow them to cling to the vertical structures when molting.

Do not allow Giant Cave Roaches to become overcrowded or it will reduce their life span.

Giant Cave Roaches are Ovoviviparous, which means they lay eggs inside of their bodies and then hatch out live young once the eggs hatch.

Their entire life span is approximately 2 years.
