Nice I was surprised how much my domino's grew in size These are next on my wishlist

Saw this photo on flickr, the colouration is incredible! Anyone have any idea if their ever likely to become available? http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildernesscam...nvertsfromhell/

Really like my A.tesselata coffee smell

So my giant banana roaches whichi thought had died out suddenly exsploded with a swarm of nymphs, my gravid A.tesselata finally gave birth judging by the 20 or so nymphs i found today, my Gyna lurida have been breeding for a while and my 1st gen are growing strongly and to top it all off i found my first domino roach babies today, loads of them at that I heard getting certain roaches to breed can be a bit hit and miss so im pretty chuffed these all bred on the 1st try Now i just hope my luck continues when my Rhino's are mature in about 4 years time

Thanks, what about substrate depth? Plus do they like more leaves or more wood in their substrate?

What should the substrate be made of? I have plenty of rotting wood and leaf mulch

Im getting some of these real soon, any tips? Read what i can about them but there's not a lot of info on the web Any pics of the adults?

So ive got 2 adults pairs now, the one female has been adult for a fair while, when should i expect to see nymphs? Have seen mating displays before, pretty stunning, especially when you had no idea they did that :yikes:

I had thought that that ooth was the only one, but i had a root through their enclosure yesterday and discovered these How come some of them are fatter than the others? Is this a sign of the young developing inside maybe? Plus are they safe incubating in their enclosure? Or can i take them out and incubate them like phasmid ova?

What the hell is that?! Looks like a true bug

I saw one of my domino's with an oothecae yesterday, the only thing is is that i dont know if i have any male, i brought them as adults so their might of been males before i had them but do they produce infertile ooths?

I did see a male with a very slight purple tinge around the edges of his wings I might seperate them and see what happens

Thanks for the replies, mine are kept moderatly humid so i doubt im doing anything wrong then

Thanks Well i havent got a yellow but i think ive got the next best thing, this female shocked me when her colour developed, never seen or heard of this morph before The colours really like that in real life, maybe better

I remember reading somewhere about the ventilation and humidity of these roaches but now i cant find the thread or remember which forums its even on Of course i made sure i had the ventilation right before recieving them but i just want to double check
