Yeah that is the guy I would buy from if I ever decide to get one, for now though my roaches are keeping me distracted.

Welcome to the forum. Nice collection, I need to get a vinagroon as well..I like the little aliens.

Had a roach escape yet? I got baby hissers, they like to get out at any chance they get, (not quite as scary as having a tongo stardust baboon race atound your shower though)

Oh yeah, but only from a few species, and it was due to me making big holes in their cages. Two of the species were smaller that I anticipated, and when they matured and gained the ability to climb, a few got out. Luckily I was able to recapture most of those, and I changed the ventilation hole size for their cages, so none of those will be escaping anymore!

The species that has had the most escapees is my Rhabdoblatta formosana, the nymphs aren't supposed to climb, but when you mist their cage the small nymphs can "swim" up the water droplets and get out if you have holes big enough for them to get through, which I did. There were a LOT of escapees before I realized what they were doing. Now I just wipe down the sides of the cage after I mist it, problem solved!

Luckily my mom is pretty cool when it comes to roaches, and I think I have mastered the art of making escape-proof cages!

Welcome to the Forum Kenney- great T's - and I would love to hear how this story played out

Got a tongo at the hamberg reptile show, switching it from the cup they had her in (3.5 inch t), she ran up the wall of her enclosure and right up onto the shower wall, about 5 minutes of chasing her i got her into a diffrent cup and then into her new enclosure..... didnt want a old world lose, so thats the logic of the shower

I had something similar happen with my Pulcher but she actually jumped right onto me and ran up and over my shoulder and down my back before I was able to cup her on myself and get her back into her new home. Whew- those close calls really wake up the heart LOL

 

[kenney]

Ya, id say, she is a flighty spider for sure, cant wait to try rehousing my king when it grows....... already a fistey little t
