SHADOW ROACH

This is a great little roach that makes a fantastic feeder and will breed like crazy for you without the need for two sexes. This roach it is parthenogenetic so the female roach creates exact copies of herself, and thus colonies can grow rapidly.

You get 24 Roaches Shipped VIA USPS For Free.

Common and Scientific Name	SHADOW ROACH (Pycnoscelus nigra‘s)
Breeding Information and Defining Characteristics	They need it warm and humid to breed. Think Florida. They grow to about 1 inch in length as an adult. Colonies are mostly, if not all, female. Surinam Roaches reproduce through parthenogenesis which means that females reproduce by making exact copies of themselves.
Housing Requirements	Any secure container is suitable for Surinam Roaches. Surinam can jump. A petroleum jelly barrier can be used to prevent them from getting out of the container. We use Bug Boundary Grease to stop escapes.
Difficulty Rearing	Easy
Climbing Habit	They can climb plastic and glass and they can jump.
Substrate	Any substrate is suitable, preferably cypress mulch because it is easy to clean up, but coconut coir bedding, or any type of mulch type bedding is fine.
Food Preference	Freshly planted foliage such as flowers, tree leaves, weeds and potted plants. They like fresh and dried grasses, straw and Oak leaves. They will not do well without this type of food and you may experience die-off without a source of plant material as food. Pick some leaves and bag them for an off season food source or you can buy Surinam food from us. You can also get bagged leaves on from these links.
Temperature and Humidity	They need heat to breed. Their respiration gives enough humidity, there is no need to add water but you should have a small bowl of Cricket Crystals in their enclosure to ensure moisture.
Restrictions	Florida Legal
