NOTE:
It is essential to keep any cockroach species in it's own enclosure to prevent cross breeding with similar species. This is extremely relevent to any of the hissing cockroaches or species in the same Genus as cross breeding can happen and it is imperative to keep any species pure.
WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON HAVING PURE COCKROACH SPECIES AND ALWAYS STATE THE GENUS AND SPECIES, IF THERE IS NO GENUS OR SPECIES NAMED, THEN IT IS EITHER UNKNOWN OR A HYBRID.
