A well-known cockroach from African descent, the 'woodie' is well known by the reptile industry as this species was originally grown in tubs containing wood chips in the late 1980/90s (hence the common name, woodie). Woodies are regarded as a welcome addition to varying any reptile diet. Medium tubs contain approximately 50+ woodies. Small tubs contain approximately 100+ woodies.
These bugs give birth to live young so it is common to see smaller woodies in the tubs too!
