DIFFICULTY: EASY
Blaberus discoidalis, commonly known as the Discoid Cockroach, is a species of large roach native to Central and South America. They are popular among insect enthusiasts due to their striking appearance and relatively low maintenance requirements.
These roaches have a disc-shaped body with a glossy black or dark brown coloration, measuring around 2 to 3 inches in length. They possess wings but are not strong fliers. Blaberus discoidalis are primarily ground-dwelling insects, preferring dark and humid environments.
When it comes to care, Discoid Cockroaches are relatively easy to maintain. They require a spacious enclosure with hiding spots like bark or egg cartons, as well as a substrate that retains moisture, such as peat moss or coconut fiber. A temperature range of 24-29°C and humidity levels of 60-80% are ideal for their well-being.
As omnivores, their diet consists of a variety of foods including fresh fruits, vegetables, and commercial roach diet pellets. Additionally, they will also feed on decaying plant matter. It's important to provide a shallow water dish for drinking, but ensure it doesn't flood their enclosure.
Blaberus discoidalis are prolific breeders, so if you choose to keep them, be prepared for a growing colony. Proper husbandry, regular cleaning, and attention to environmental conditions will help ensure the health and longevity of these fascinating insects.
