Hi Toan,
Orange headed roaches (Eublaberus prosticus)?
Said to be on the cannibalistic side, keep well fed, dog food helps (protein). Otherwise are easy to keep and raise. They come from northern south america and central america, including Panama. That's if they ARE Eublaberus prosticus. You could always do a web search on the species and see if they match up? E. prosticus don't climb glass. I'd suggest keeping them above 60F. As long as you provide moisture in the form of food, like fruits/veggies and such, on a regular basis, you can keep them in a dry environment. They also do well when kept in a humid environment. They enjoy leaf litter to hide in. Hope this helps a little.
