The Basics:
Pycnoscelus nigra is a beautiful,
hardy, prolific, & low-maintenance
smaller roach species. Adults and nymphs exhibit a shiny coal-black
coloration with golden strips.
They are parthenogenetic, meaning the
members of this species consists
entirely & only of females!
The name "Shadow Roaches" refers to how they live
in the shadows
of deep layers of soils/substrate (at least 2 - 3 inches).
They are an
excellent "feeder/clean up crew" species for critters such as
small
lizards,
frogs, etc.
Temperature:
"Shadow" cockroaches are fine at room temperature, but will
grow and breed much faster if kept warmer, up to 85F. You
may wish to use a heat pad or heat lamp in order to
provide them with warmth.
Housing Humidity
:
We recommend keeping hissing cockroaches at 50%+ humidity
if at all possible. Shadow Cockroaches will survive at lower room
humidity, but will thrive in the 60-70% humidity range. Keep the
coconut fiber bedding damp, and mist frequently.
Feeding:
Keep a small food and water bowl in their home. We recommend using
any dry roach feed along with adding in some fresh fruit and vegetables,
such as
Bananas (whole), Carrots,
Lettuce,
Oak leaves,
Oatmeal,
Orange
slices,
Pearl barley,
Potato,
Peaches,
Plums &
should be offered a few
times a week.
Enclosure:
"Shadow" cockroaches should be housed in a smaller enclosure.
They seem
to breed best when kept slightly crowded & also keeps them
in close
proximity with their food and water. I
use egg cartons
for
media on top of 2" to "3 of s
ubstrate(for burrowing)
. I will mist
the tank
or dump water into the back half were it will naturally evaporate
and
provide humidity.
