No baiting, just want help if he is willing to give.

That's right, roaches are invincible. Anyways, I am not adding more reptiles to my collection as of now. I'll have plenty of time to learn and practice.

Moods can change, so I'm open to positive feedback. However if it's gonna bite ill take it, unless it's a fully grown reticulated python or anaconda. <-- humor isn't really my thing so excuse the attempt lol.

For sure. Google is your friend.

I would like to thank Formica and mikoh for pointing out how little I contribute here. It's obvious that they understand this forum. Especially with their long time memberships.

Okay here we go.

Not all roaches are tropical species as before mentioned.

Most species of roaches can climb plastic bins.

Certain species of roaches NEED to be kept around 90°f to continue to reproduce.

Talking to others on a forum is not a form o research. Not one of you checked any of the facts to see how true they were or you could've corrected it yourselves.

I will also like to point out some species of roach can fly.

Korbin is right, for some reason I had only blaptica dubia in mind, and just realized after he typed this that you didn't specify which type of roach. Everything I wrote was concerning what I found worked with me regarding blaptica, to clarify now.

Thank you. I should have been more specific. I meant for this thread to be about blaptica roaches.

Facts can be shared on forums. Talking with others on a forum may not give one absolute knowledge on a matter but it can still be used to learn.

No, I wasn't being rude. I was being brief. There's a huge difference. Again it isn't my responsibility to hold your hand and walk you through it. I told you the facts were wrong and it was your responsibility to figure out what or to accept it blindly.

We expect you to explain when you say things are wrong. We can't just accept that blindly either. No one is asking to be walked through with our hands held. We come here to ask questions, we expect them to be answered. I don't know why you think informing people is walking their hands like they are little children crossing the street. We're all adults here lets not condescend.

formica · 06-05-13, 06:38 AM

ok then you werent rude.

I'm gona be rude tho

you are totally full of yourself.

I expect you to check what you're told.

If I don't explain myself it really doesn't hurt me but if you don't check your what you're told it could be a problem for you, no?

No I'm really not but I do know my limits and I do know my knowledge and experience.
It's called confidence. Just a reminder I wasn't the one that was wrong.

Just wanna throw this out there. I'm 100% positive dubia males can fly if they get a good start. I had one fly across my room just like a moth.

If they get a good start meaning off the ground (up high i mean) from high to low right? What about starting on the ground? Ive never seen it personally.
