Description
Porcelain roaches are a striking and highly collectible species known for their bold black-and-white, speckled pattern that resembles fine porcelain. Unlike traditional feeder roaches, these are primarily kept as a display and breeding species due to their unique appearance and interesting behavior. They remain relatively small, making them ideal for compact, well-designed enclosures.
Size & Lifespan:
Adults typically reach around 1 inch in length. Nymphs are darker and more subtle in coloration, developing their signature pattern as they mature. With proper care, adults can live 1–2 years, and established colonies can reproduce consistently.
Temperament & Behavior:
Porcelain roaches are calm, non-aggressive, and tend to be more active during the evening hours. They prefer to burrow or hide under cork bark and leaf litter, making naturalistic setups especially rewarding. They are not fast climbers and generally do well in secure, well-ventilated enclosures.
Care Requirements:
-
Humidity: Moderate to slightly dry conditions with a moisture gradient
-
Substrate: Organic soil mix with leaf litter and cork bark for cover
-
Temperature: 72–85°F for optimal activity and breeding
-
Diet: Leaf litter, high-quality dry roach chow, fish flakes, and occasional fresh vegetables
They thrive in enclosures with good airflow and a portion of the substrate kept slightly moist to support healthy molting. Avoid overly wet conditions, as they prefer a drier environment compared to many tropical roach species.
Breeding:
Porcelain roaches are slow to moderate breeders. Females produce oothecae (egg cases), and nymphs develop gradually. With stable warmth and consistent feeding, a colony can steadily expand over time, making them a rewarding long-term project for dedicated hobbyists.
All specimens offered are healthy, well-started, and raised in clean, controlled conditions. Perfect for collectors, bioactive enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add a truly eye-catching species to their invertebrate collection.
