Default my newbies :D

finally got round to taking a few pics of my newbies , and they aint that easy to get good pics of but did my best.
first my nearly adult peppered cockroaches(Achrimandrita Tesselata). love them. so tame.


next my 6 spotted roach (Eublaberus Distanti) which im a bit confused about. some ppl call them 4 spotted and some 6 spotted but with same latin name. i was sold mine as 6 spot but cant tell lol.there a nightmare to get pics of. just burrow as soon as u try get them out.

next 3 of my 4 Albino West African Land Snail (Archachating Marginata var. ovum)

and finally a few of my young Giant African Land Snails (Achatina Fulica) popping out to say hello

Awww! They're all so cute!
How big is the 6 spotted roach atm?
Oh and do male and female roaches generally have different patterning?
I quite like roaches but know absolutly nothing about them

they are about 2-2.5 inch. dont like being touched much at all. i think the way to tell males and females is something to do with the wing casing at the back or something. aint got much of a clue though lol. just getting into them.

Thanks Chris
Nice to see some people getting into roaches, so many people treat them like vermin they don't realise they make cool pets.
2-2.5 inches!!! wow! Didn't know they got that big!
