    Nice collection Delivor! Everything looks great!

    While we're being knit-picky about nomenclature ; ) Elliptorhina javanica are indigenous to Java, not Madagascar. I think the common names people tend to throw around these days are Halloween Hissers or Javan Hissing Roaches.

    Most people do, just because of how similar the two species are. Where these roaches live is where they get their Latin name.

    WOW you have very nice reptiles and insects and I also love that butterfly and snail. Can you tell me is there any effects of pet a snail in home with kids? Thanks for sharing the photos.

    Glad you like it

    that is not a butterfly its a mantis but I guess they look simmilar.

    Do you mean if a snail can get harmed if you have kids at home? in that case you just have to put his tank in a place where they cant reach it.
