Simandoa conserfariam is a cockroach species “extinct” in the wild. “Extinct” inside quotes means that they are not technically extinct, but they only exist in captivity due to the destruction of their native cave in Guinea (W. Africa). Nymphs start out plain black but gradually develop yellow stripes as they grow. Adults have beautiful speckled olive green / gray wings in addition to yellow stripes on the abdomen and also red legs. This roach can’t fly but the species runs quickly and can climb smooth surfaces pretty fast – nymphs too – so be prepared. When handled however, they are much calmer. A specialized container with rubber sealing under the lid or the use of a thick layer of vaseline barrier at the top of the enclosure is a must! However, it could not survive outside of their enclosure.

Simandoa conserfariam, cockroach care
Size: adults may reach a length of 45 mm.
Terrarium: keep ⅕ moist with a little sphagnum moss. The substrate can be a mixture of peat (without fertilizer) mixed with crushed rotting leaves, some coconut coir and a little sand. Make it at least 5 cm deep so that they can bury it when they need to. They also need hiding spots to go under and hide themselves during the day. These can be carton egg cases, cork bark, or hard bark from other trees.
⚠️ Their terrarium needs to be escape-proof, so that the roaches cannot squeeze through the lid and escape.
Temperature: 21 – 26°C
Humidity: 50 – 60%
Activity: night; early morning.
Diet: This species appreciates a variety of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, apples, or oranges. They may also eat decaying leaves and bat guano, and they enjoy the weekly insect jelly.
Can climb?: yes; an escape-proof container must be used.
Can fly?: no
Difficulty: easy
Reproduction rate: fair; the female giving birth to about 12 dark-coloured nymphs ca. 2 to 3 mm long, that like to burrow into the substrate.
Lifespan: About 2 – 3 months for males and 2 – 3 years for females. Lifespan has also to do with the temperature, so if it is a bit cold, they live a bit longer.
