Broad Keys Cockroach

Description

Hemiblabera tenebricosa occur in the Florida Keys and Dade County (also in the West Indies). A hardy species, they are one off our largest US natives. These rounded cockroaches can’t climb glass and both sexes have vestigial wings (incapable of flight).

Very young nymphs $3 each.

Roaches love jelly products which are healthy, clean, don’t spoil and don’t attract pests or mold like rotting fruit sometimes does, particulary during warmer months of the year. I also offer mine fish food pellets in small amounts for protein and other nutrients. These small pellets disappear quickly and prevent attraction of mites, etc. Subtrate in your roach tank provides both nutrition and humidity for your pets. My roach care sheet is located here.
