RomanBuck Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Are those egg case layers or live bearers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanBuck Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Great! I'm actually looking for some ooth layers! I don't know why or if others are like me, but I like to be in control of how many roaches I have in each colony and you can't really do that with live bearers!

How do you control the oothecae when to hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 What I mean is if I have too many for one container I can destroy/sell the ooths or feed them off to various animals. I don't like to freeze or kill (unless they are being fed to something) live bearing species because I get attached for some reason lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 It's been only 5 months since I started seeing 1st instars in the enclosure and I'm already seeing freshly emerged adults in there! Interestingly, they are only about 2/3 size of their parents, likely due to overcrowding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Aw, cute! My females have just started laying ooths, can't wait to see some babies! How long did it take for your ooths to hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
