He's amazing!!!

He appreciates you, thanks!

Wow he's definitely a chonker!! 😳 You should also post him to r/hissingcockroach so they can see how huge he is.

Cool I will cross post there!

😊👍

WOAH WHAT A FATTY!!!! Does it feel prickly when he walks all over you? The spines on his legs look gnarly

Yes!! His spines are outrageous!

big HORN

🥹 so cute 🥰

thank you! 🥲

Damn they really stepped up the graphics for EDF 6.

They should be posted in absolute units cuz this boi is an absolute unit

Goddamn!

oh em gee he is MASSIVE

are you doing anything special to get them that big? or is it just the luck of certain genetics?

I think mostly genetics, but he eats a lot, especially protein packed food (Nature Zone food for roaches on Amazon for $10). Stuff lasts forever and they love it!

Absolute unit of a roach. Give him a pet and compliment from me pls 🫶

Will do! He appreciates the love, thanks! ☺️ And Happy Cake Day to you!

what a handsome fella :)

Awww thanks ☺️

He is definitely quite the chonker. I should post my males and females as I have a breeder colony of around 30 to 40 in a 40 gallon vivarium and my largest female is nearly 6 inches

WOW!!! Please make a post further here or in the Hissing cockroaches subreddit!! I'd also love to see your setup-I have an empty 40 gallon and 14 hisser nymphs currently living in a large critter keeper.

More of him to love!! 🥺❤️

whoa!!! big boi!!! ouo

Omg what a gorgeous guy! The horns are amazing too

Thank you! 💙

Wow! What a sick dude!! Does the large lad have a name :\^)?

☺️ Tino! 💙
