Horseshoe Crab Roaches

Live Horseshoe Crab Roaches

(Hemiblabera tenebricosa)

Horseshoe Crab Roaches are broad, flat-bodied feeders named for their armored, rounded appearance. These roaches are slow-moving and easy to handle, making them excellent for reptiles that prefer stationary or slow prey. They do not climb smooth surfaces and are easy to contain.

Low odor and visually unique, they double well in pet displays or as part of educational collections.
