Your adult female should have young once a year, around November in nature but captive habitat temperature can skew timing. The pair can be kept together but the male should probably be removed when young arrive. If the food or water situation is poor the female may never reproduce.

Allpet Roaches Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 They don't eat a ton but shouldn't be lacking in food, esp. rotten leaves. Try never to let them get wamer than 80F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same temperature is fine, this species just doesn't take high temperatures well (tend to die). The problem is many people have tried to use dead aromatic eucalyptus leaves which eventually kill them.
