Those leg spikes look rather daunting! Not as bad as Hissers but still!

Eh, these guys are small so you don't even feel them, hissers on the other hand give me blisters lol, turns out I'm allergic to roaches.
Not that that will keep me from keeping them lol, just can't hold my bigger species too much.

Yeah, the horseshoe crab roaches don't usually give me blisters, but man when they get bigger their spikes alone are pretty sharp IMO.
Yup, exactly! Apparently the more you are exposed to roaches the more likely you are to become allergic to them, whatever...
There are a bunch of other roach keepers who are allergic, and they still keep their roaches, it's not too much of a disability. I'm sure as heck not gonna let it affect my hobby!

It'll still be a while until they hatch, takes a little over a month apparently.

oh. thats cool i was just wondering.
Yeah, hopefully in a few weeks I'll start seeing hatchlings!
One of my male Corydidarum pygmaea matured, which is actually kinda bad news, as my females are not especially close to maturation and the males have a pretty short lifespan...
Anyway, here are some pictures:
