Topic: Blaberus giganteus

	Blaberus fusca
		It may be because the Blaberus fusca could in fact actually be just a hybrid between the Blaberus giganteus and Blaberus craniifer.
		Another thing is that the Blaberus fusca has a wider or thicker area of fl that extends all of the way down from the pronotum to the dark fl band across the center of the wings as compared to that of the Blaberus giganteus.
		Many people have made the arguement that the Blaberus fusca is actually a hybrid of the Blaberus giganteus and the Blaberus craniifer and that the Blaberus fusca is not a recognized species name.

		The most commonly kept species are native to the tropical jungles of Madagascar and South America, they live amongst leaf litter and plants on the forest floor.
		Another commonly seen Cockroach is the Discoid Roach, Blaberus discoidalis often sold as the “Deaths Head Cockroach” when compared with the true Deaths Head Cockroach though, Blaberus craniifer, the differences are obvious, one difference is a mark of a skull, or face on the pronotum (above the head) of B.craniifer, whille B.discoidalis lacks this mark.
		Both of these Blaberus species are usually far more skittish than G.portentosa, which can easily be handled when care is taken.

		These are true Blaberus giganteus, much different than the Blaberus discoidales depicted at the bottom of this page.
		True giganteus are much larger and reproduce more slowly than their smaller cousins.
		If the adults are larger than 3 inches, you are looking at giganteus, which may approach 5 inches.

	Arachnoboards - feeder roaches
		The discoidales are more than big enough to satisfy big tarantulas, and other than size, giganteus has nothing else to offer as a feeder that dicoidales doesn't also have.
		The giganteus nymphs are more broad and round than the discoidales.
		We also have colonies of the giganteus but they take about 9 months to mature vs 4 for the distanti.

	Feeders
		For some incredibly strange reason this species has been called Blaberus craniifer, the Death's head roach for 20 or more years.
		As with other Blaberus species, the Discoid roach is ovoviviparous and unable to climb glass.
		Blaberus giganteus is almost certainly the longest of the roaches that can be found in the worldwide roach hobby.

	[No title]
		Cockroaches, members of the Blattidae family of insects, are not usually thought of as pets (though many people, of course, unwittingly have free-roaming cockroaches sharing their kitchen).
		The rest are inoffensive scavengers which inhabit leaf litter and rotten logs in tropical areas and are rarely seen by humans.
		These include the giant cockroach, Blaberus giganteus, which is found in Central America, and the death’s head roaches, Blaberus craniifer and Blaberus discoidalis, which are native to Cuba and the Caribbean islands.

		08-05-2004 09:00 PM Blaberus fusca and Blaberus craniifer are closely related species and some taxonomists consider them different subspeices, forms or races of the same species due to similarity of the male genitalia.

		Don't over water, you will have rotten bark chips that need to be cleaned out more often.
		The Blaberus roaches will breed once they have their wings.
		It appears that the female will push an egg case out of her body and then pull it back in to reposition it.

		Known to most as a Harvard professor, a prize-wining author (Conciliance; Naturalist; Biophilia; On Human Nature; The Insect Societies; Sociobiology: The New Synthesis), a top-notch myrmecologist, the godfather of the study of sociobiology, a biodiversity proselytizer and the world's expert on Pheidole--the largest genus of ants in the New World--Wilson is, to me, even more.
		On my first night on BCI, my first night in a tropical rain forest, I was greeted by a four-inch-long cockroach, Blaberus giganteus, on my pillow.
		Freaked but trying to play it cool (I accepted, intellectually, that BCI was host to 100 varieties of cockroach), I climbed up to the dining hall hoping to sweet-talk a sympathetic grad student into removing it for me. Instead, I bumped into Wilson.

	Sexual Behavior Mechanisms in Cockroaches
		As normal mating rituals may often fail at times, some species of these cockroaches have other methods of approaching sexually receptive females.
		Three genera of tropical cockroaches (Archimandria, Blaberus, and Brysotria) participate in pseudofemale behavior (Corcoran 1995) in order to acquire contact with females.
		When courtship is initiated, the male will open his wings as a display of his interest while exposing his tergites.

	Monitors - Water Monitor wont eat
		If your water monitor is three feet, you shouldn’t be worrying with crickets anyway.
		He should be eating mostly f/t rodents, maybe a couple chicks every now and then, and some BIG feeder roaches, such as Madagascar hissers (grompondorina portentosa) or giant cave roaches (blaberus giganteus).
		Smaller roaches can be used, but a three foot monitor will prefer larger ones.

	Roach faqs
		A: I collected Blaberus giganteus in the garbage dump in Key West, Florida, 25 years ago.
		In general cockroach females are more robust than males to allow for producing and carrying their large clutches of eggs.
		Thus the females tend to be larger, for example in my illustration of Blaberus giganteus, AND THE FEMALE'S WINGS ARE THUS LARGER THAN THE MALE WINGS IN AN ABSOLUTE SENSE ONLY.

		The obvious reason for this name is the strange skull/vampire face markings on the pronotum.
		B.craniifer is the only species of Blaberus (there are a minimum of fourteen species) which has a very different color pattern from the rest of it's genus; even the nymphs are much darker.
		Like the other Blaberus, the Death's head roach is ovoviviparous and cannot climb glass.
