Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was thinking about getting a roach colony. But as in Hong Kong I can't find any. I was wondering if I caught a few roaches in my garden and bred them. Would it work? The roaches there are quite small, can get up to 1 1/2 inches. I think they can't climb or fly either.

If you can read Chinese, then try this HK forum:
mytortoise.net/forum/

The people there should be able to answer most of your questions.

I can't read chinese. But, if you can, can you ask for me. If not too bad. But, do you think I could feed them any roach or just or just roaches they already use. Also, I know you live in HK. Do you know where I can get roaches worms (not mealies I already know) or other feeders. Also, where did you get your leos and which reptile shop do you go to?

Also, What substrate do you use? I don't want to use papertowels or news paper! Do you think Kaytee reptile bedding is ok. If not I can't find anything nice and safe!

Use tiles, you can find some that has a more natural finish. They are easy to clean and conduct heat pretty well.
With the roaches, perhaps you can try this www.blaberus.com

THANX. But do you now where to get tiles and roaches???
