Sexed-Order Pricing Note

Each adult female Black Tiger hissing roach is individually sorted by hand. Because larger sexed orders require significantly more labor and remove a greater number of breeding females from our colonies, higher quantities may have a higher price per roach than smaller quantities.

Adult Female Black Tiger Hissing Roach Size and Appearance

Adult female Black Tiger hissing roaches measure approximately 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm) and have broad, heavily armored, wingless bodies with predominantly black to deep-mahogany coloration.

Females can be distinguished from males by their smaller, smoother pronotal bumps and relatively smooth antennae. Adult males have more prominent horn-like bumps and noticeably hairier antennae.

Individual size, coloration, and markings may vary naturally. Black Tiger hissing roaches cannot fly or jump, but specialized pads on their feet allow them to climb glass, smooth plastic, and many other surfaces.

Black Tiger Hissing Roaches for Breeding, Pets, or Feeders

Adult females are an excellent choice for establishing or expanding a Black Tiger breeding colony. Females retain their egg cases internally, where the eggs hatch before live nymphs are produced.

They are also hardy, fascinating to observe, and relatively easy to maintain. Their dark coloration, large size, unusual vocalizations, and generally manageable temperament make them excellent display pets and educational animals.

Adult females may also be offered as live feeders to appropriately sized reptiles, amphibians, birds, and other large insectivores. Always consider the roach’s size and firm exoskeleton when determining whether it is appropriate for your animal.

To preserve the Black Tiger line, keep them separated from other types of hissing cockroaches that could potentially crossbreed with them.

Care and Storage

Keep Black Tiger hissing roaches in a secure, well-ventilated enclosure with a tightly fitted lid. Because they can climb smooth glass and plastic, use a dependable escape barrier and inspect the enclosure regularly.

Provide hiding areas and climbing structures such as cork bark, egg flats, or cardboard tubes. Temperatures around 78°F to 85°F are recommended for active growth and breeding.

Provide good ventilation, moderately humid air, and access to both moist and drier areas without allowing the enclosure to become excessively wet.

Offer a nutritious dry diet supplemented with small portions of fresh fruits and vegetables for moisture. Remove uneaten fresh food regularly to help prevent mold, fermentation, and fruit flies.

Fast Live Shipping
