Leidenfrost Effect TheRoachK... - 220 views - 1 month ago
The Leidenfrost effect is a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly. This works because, at temperatures above the Leidenfrost point, when water touches the hot plate, the bottom part of the water vaporizes immediately on contact. The resulting gas actually suspends the rest of the water droplet just above it, preventing any further direct contact between the liquid water and the hot plate and dramatically slowing down further heat transfer between them. This also results in the drop being able to skid around the pan on the layer of gas just under it.*

Maxine Laid Eggs Pt 1 TheRoachK... - 147 views - 3 months ago
Maxine laid her eggs on Friday, March 20th, 2009. I found them when I got home from work that night. This is the batch of eggs I was preparing the incubator for in my DIY incubator video.

A little scientific experiment / question... Why, when a stove is hot, will water bead up and roll off of it? If you put water in a dropper, and drop it onto a room temperature table, it will simply splatter. But if you drop it onto a hot stove, it will bead up and roll around until it gets off of the hot surface, at which point it will splatter. Why is this?

Blaptica Dubia roach giving birth radicalde... - 8,470 views - 6 months ago
Wow, this is the first time I've witnessed this. One of my female blaptica dubia roaches giving birth. This species, as well as most tropical roach species, are said to give live birth. However what really happens is the mother incubates the eggs inside her and lays them just as they begin to hatch, so it is not the same as when mammals give "true" live birth.

As soon as the babies finish hatching, they eat their egg shells for their first meal. Within 10 minutes they had already dispersed into the rest of the colony.

Just a collection of random stuff that I decide to put on youtube. Most of it will probably be reptile related in one way or another. Some if it will have nothing to do with reptiles at all. Enjoy the videos. :)

Hello I have a question,
Do you think a 66 qt is better for a lobster roach colony starting out with 1000 roaches or,
a dubia roach colony starting out with 50 dubias.
And can a 66 qt be a permament home for both or either species?
