Do you have any adults?

The females are the largest and will be darker than anything else...
The males have wings and are usually a lighter brown...

although the above can change based on molting etc....

Regardless, if you have adults these things reproduce like no tomorrow.

I did not find any roaches with wings, so I don't think I have adult roaches. I will select larger ones and keep them in a breeding cage. I put the cages in a boiler room and I can see that they move much more actively. I might not need heat pad after all.

They look kind of yummy. Has anyone tried eating them?

They are one of the prettier roaches IMO although many hate them...

My lizard seems to enjoy them... I can send one your way if you are curious :lol:

I fried them. They taste really good. Crispy and crunchy.

I made a instractable entry for "how to cook cockroaches"

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
