bertyp23 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Manchester. For my final year project I'm going to try to compare sexual size dimorphism and male-male behaviour in all four species of the genus Gromphadorhina. We already have a population of G. portentosa in the labs at Manchester and I think I've found a source for G. oblongata but I'm having real trouble finding places to purchase adult G. grandidieri and G. picea. I thought this would a be a great place to ask! Thanks, Roberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcep Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Simply searching "tiger hisser for sale" on google you'll find it, but I've never seen G. picea in the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allpet Roaches Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 You have to be careful where you get your stock since all the known Gromphadorhina hybridize in captivity and many stocks are mixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
