Here are some better pictures of the Panchlora sp. "White"! In case anyone was wondering, the males are about two CM long, and the female is almost three.

I like these guys more and more. Having a horrid time with my dubia... Don't want to feed them to my T's. They are just so damn cute. Going to have to get a couple of the hisses as pets I guess. :p

Yeah, I always feel kind of bad feeding off my roaches, I never feel that way with crickets or mealworms, but I always feel guilty when feeding my roaches to things. Haha, you'll turn into a Blatticulturist yet, just you wait and see! :p It often starts with using them as feeders, then you get a pet species, and another, and another, then 10 more, and so on and so forth. :D

Got some new roach species from a friend a few days ago! :)

Lol, glad to see this thread is fulfilling its purpose! :D
No they don't have a red spot on their head per say, rather the whole head is an reddish-orange color, except for the eyes of course. :)
