More roaches for Clay, finally

[etclement]

As I was re organizing my sauna (Yes I use a sauna for a bug room lol) I calculated I had enough space for 5 more species of roach. I did some research and some browsing on http://www.roachcrossing.com/. What I was thinking were the following species. I tried to choose four larger species and one smaller one because I currently have only dubia, red goblin roaches, and pallid roaches. Red goblins and pallids are great, but their adult size is about how large the dubia nymphs are that I feed currently, with Clay only 5 months old! I figured when he gets bigger I don't want to have to choose feeding only dubia vs feeding off tons of adults in a colony every day. I wanted mostly bigger things to provide more variety and something medium sized but smaller than dubia to mix in with everything else. I also am open to setting up a hornworm/ silk colony but not too sure about that yet.
Heres what I will get:
Giant Lobster Roach Henschoutedenia flexivitta
Ivory Head Roach Eublaberus sp. “Ivory” / biolleyi
Orange Head Roach Eublaberus posticus
Six Spot Roach Eublaberus distanti
Porcelain Roach Gyna lurida
The Porcelain roach was the "small" one that I got, with the others being around 50mm adult size and the Six Spot being the largest. I'm looking forward to raising these species, they all seem very cool!

Did you get these roaches?
How are your ivory head and orange head doing?

I may be getting some of these, but clay is still small and I don't want to spend a lot of money on roaches he won't even be eating for a year.

Has roachcrossing got back to you?

I would like to see pictures of these roach colonies once you get them going.

Agreed about the pictures. I love the looks of the ivory head roach
