$12.99
A large cave-roach line kept under a deliberately qualified identity. These Peruvian Cave Roaches are sold as Blaberus cf. peruvianus: cf. means the captive line is compared with, but not asserted to be definitively identified as, B. peruvianus. Current options are 1 Mixed Nymphs and 5 Mixed Nymphs.
Colony setup
Use a secure, well-ventilated enclosure with tight gap control, layered cork or other stable dark retreats, absorbent substrate, and a moisture gradient without persistent waterlogging. Provide enough shelter surface to reduce crowding. Offer a balanced dry staple, pesticide-free fresh foods in controlled portions, and a clean hydration source; remove spoilage promptly.
Keeper and arrival notes
Do not rely on assumed flight or climbing behavior as containment. Keep interactions enclosure-based and use a container for transfers. Prepare the colony setup before delivery, review Shipping Add-Ons, and browse Exotic Roaches.
Another calm giant from the Blaberus family. Peruvian Cave roaches (Blaberus cf. peruvianus) bring the same easygoing, grounded temperament found across the Blaberus genus. They stay low in leaf litter and bark, moving at a relaxed pace and rarely causing any fuss.
A group of mixed nymphs grows into an established colony over time, offering a substantial, low-drama species for collectors who already appreciate the genus.
- Calm, grounded Blaberus temperament
- Stays low in leaf litter and bark
- Builds into an established colony over time
- A great pick for fans of the larger roach species
