I would love to have more data on that. there are not much info on a web as well.
i would love to know how giant peppered roaches would fit into all this too.

poison you are saying yours take 6-12 month to mature, demon you say it is 3 months for you, would you guys share how exactly you keep yours, i wonder what is a difference since growth rate is so much different.
They use to be kept like any other roach colony. Eggcrates and no substrate but now I've changed the setup. I'm now using bio active substrate and bark. Ambient tyemps are in the high 80's. humidity around 60%-70% ansd they are feed a diet of fruits, veggies and greens only. http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/...ps519bbe5c.jpg
