Madagascar Hissers (Gromphadorhina portentosa)
Small = Up to 1", Medium = Up to 2", Large = 2",
XL 3" and up and adults available upon request
Nymphs have a softer exoskeleton than other roach species
Small and Medium nymphs provide a great option for bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, and younger larger lizards
Medium and Large nymphs provide a great option for larger lizards such as larger chameleons, monitors, tegus and iguanas, and full grown tarantulas
Excellent Protein: Moisture: Fat ratio
Slightly different nutrient profile and flavor makes them a great alternative to Dubia
Yes, large individuals do hiss quite loudly when bothered, but they are not aggressive
Can climb smooth surfaces – 2″ rim of petroleum jelly around the upper rim of the inner surface of your container prevents escape
Very long life expectancy, anywhere from 2-5 years if kept properly (they don’t like dirty environments or living in deep grass)
Sexually dimorphic, males have larger horns on their heads when the females heads are nearly smooth
Great classroom pet or for younger children learning to keep a pet due to their durability and docile nature

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Upon arrival, empty the critters into your storage container and provide food and water crystals. Roaches enjoy fresh fruits and veggies, but PLEASE DO NOT FEED onions, garlic, cucumbers, or avocados. Remember, what you gut-load into the animals goes into your pet.
We do not recommend dishes of water as these critters are prone to drowning in very shallow water. Water crystals in a dish or a wet sponge may be used as a water source.
If the weather has been cold, please allow one or two hours for the critters to come to room temperature, at which point they should start moving and resuming normal activity. Contact us immediately with any questions or issues.
