Description

(WHAT YOU RECIEVE)
Species:
Halloween Hissing
Cockroaches
(Elliptorhina Javanica)
Quantity:
Singles, Pairs, & Colony Starters
Sizes:
Adult, Subadult & Nymphs
Sex:
Mixed
Housing Temperature:
Hissing cockroaches are fine at room temperature, but will
grow and breed much faster if kept warmer, up to 95F. You
may wish to use a heat pad or heat lamp in order to
provide them with warmth.
Housing Humidity
:
We recommend keeping hissing cockroaches at 50%+ humidity
if at all possible. Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches will survive
at lower room humidity, but will thrive in the 60-70% humidity
range. Keep the coconut fiber bedding damp, and mist frequently.
Sexing:
Male Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches have large horns on their
heads, while females have a much more round head. The sexual
dimorphism is visually apparent at 3-4 months of age.
Feeding:
Keep a small food and water bowl in their home. We recommend using
any dry roach feed along with adding in some fresh fruit and vegetables,
such as
Bananas (whole), Carrots,
Lettuce,
Oak leaves,
Oatmeal,
Orange
slices,
Pearl barley,
Potato,
Peaches,
Plums &
should be offered a few
times a week.
(CULTURE INFO)
Halloween Hissing Cockroaches should be housed in a smaller containers.
They seem
to breed best when kept slightly crowded & also keeps them
in close
proximity with their food and water.
Many people use egg cartons
for
t
he media,
however
using a substrate can be beneficial as well. I like
to keep the back half of the tank on the heat mat. I will mist
the tank
or dump water into the back half were it will naturally evaporate
and
provide humidity.
