specimen24-6 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I've just gotten these today from peter. How long does it take for them to reach maturity. I've read that it takes a year. I hope it's not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRoach Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with that species. However, I can say that most my roaches of a comparable size to that of Warty Glowspots mature to adults in about 7 months when kept at room temperature. When kept in temperatures of ~85 Degrees and fed exclusively cat food, I've had some females mature in 3.5 months, with males maturing even earlier. In my experience, some species don't seem to like being kept at constantly high temperatures, so if you increase their enclosure's temperature, check on them every now and then to make sure they're eating their food and are molting properly.

N8tive556 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hey any luck with this colony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specimen24-6 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 They are not dead yet, so yes I am having luck with these guys. Thank you for asking They have gained their fiery insignias and I think they have gotten a bit bigger. I have also added some springtails to the inclosure to prevent any fungal growth, also they will be used as feeders for my mantis nymphs.
