I love this, I used to own a few as pets when I was younger. I would get them from Cornel University. They are really sick roaches.

@eaglereptiles, don’t want to push it, but is it possible I could start a list of isopods in this manner? Isopods, just as roaches, are rapidly growing in popularity as a hobby. I think another wiki of this setup would work wonders for that. :slight_smile:

Of course, please do!

The more of these lists that we have, the easier adding future categories/traits to the database will be.

I don’t know much about roaches but the main species that I know of are on there. I think it looks good.
