Cariblatta lutea Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 These look nearly identical to Blattella asahinai, but seem to be much harder to keep alive. Lost half of my colony in the beginning for no apparent reason The ones that are alive are doing well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pannaking22 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Very pretty species! Sounds like you've got a good shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Whelp....I don't think I'll be able to breed this species. Females kept aborting oothecae within two weeks of laying, and embryos never developed. Seems that two males I had in there were sterile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks, perhaps there is one or two ootheca that escaped your attention and will hatch... that would be nice. Sorry to hear the news, it sucks to fail at breeding a species.

It helps with live bearing species, maybe it will help these guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
