yeah, they are a bit smelly than other forest roaches.
because they need spraying, need water sometimes.
The water make the smell strongly.

you will realieze it, but will get used to it soon.

I heat them with a film heater mat.

I keep my Blatta lateralis quite dry, they seem happy enough. still smell a little compared to other roaches.

I dont think Ive seen the Rhabdoblatta yayeyamana. Have you got any more photos or information about them? They look quite like the Morphna sp.

you can keep red roaches in dry.
but I think the babies need some humidity at least I think.

with the B.lateralis roach it depends on what you feed that can make em smell.

I've got tens of thousands of them and they really do not smell.

some vegetables like cucumber can make them smell a bit and if dog biscuits get wet (they like to drog them into their water bowl) this can make them smell a bit too.

I keep them quite clean I suppose.

Pics are in my livefood ad in my siggie if you want to see more.

Yes, I used to feel the stinky smell from thier viv, however now I it doesn't smell very much with decent feed.
I feed vigs mainly and sometimes fruits.
