Sorry I took a look but the only ones I know about are dubia.

What species is that?

 

[sarah777]

Sorry Laurie I know they're gross! I was told it's a discoidales. I ordered dubia's and a few of these nasty's were mixed in.

Yes, you are wrong

They could be discoid, death's head, or B. giganteus. Most likely discoids though.

They aren't 'nasties' but in fact would be good for you to start a new colony with aside from your dubias. They reproduce a little bit slower than dubia, but still pretty quick.

I have three colonies going of different roaches, which allows one colony to take a break while I feed from the other two, and I just cycle them this way. I never run out of roaches since I started doing this.

I just call them nasty because they are sooo huge! I can't pick one up but have no trouble with the dubias. Do you keep the different roaches in separate enclosures?
