    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

clay, roach info?

ok here is the deal... i have had hissers and i had TONS they bred well and whatever but i got rid of them.
i didnt really care for them because they climbed... i am looking for something new as far as roaches... here is my criteria... (if anything at all fits into it)
flightless
doesnt climb
breeds well
size doesnt matter we have all kinds of stuff that will eat them here LOL

clay? anyone? what would you suggest?
 
All members of the Blaberus genus are non climbers.
They do have wings, but they don't fly. Best they can manage is fluttering to the floor from an elevated position.

They don't breed as quickly as hissers or lobsters, but once the colony is established they do well.

Of this group I only have experience with the discoids however. It may be that other members of this genus have higher reproductive rates. Mine reproduce pretty good, but they can't compete with the lobsters for numbers.
