"Domino" Roaches are a beautiful, long-lived species originally native to the scrub forest regions of southern India. Hardy and undemanding when set up properly, patience is required as small nymphs can take in excess of a full year to reach their colorful adult stage. T. petiveriana prefers a deeper substrate (2" - 3") for burrowing, and a layer of dried hardwood leaves (Oak, Beech, etc.) to nibble on between regular feedings. You will receive 12+ "Domino" Roaches in all growth stages to ensure a well-rounded starter colony (including at least 1 young adult pair), along with a free sample of my homemade 17-ingredient, deluxe "Roach chow" with each order.
