vfox Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I awoke today to about 30 baby Hissers roaming around their enclosure. Yay for roaches for Christmas lol. Once the others have babies like I said, overrun! Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and I noticed one of my Blaberus craniifer extending an ootheca this evening, some are on their way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I have some Christmas (almost!) babies to add to the list! I just watched one of my E. javanica give birth. This was the first time in 4 years of keeping roaches that I've actually seen a female in the birthing process (I've seen right before and right after, but never as it was coming out.) Such a wondrous site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a wondrous site. Cool man, I've yet to see that happen. I've seen right after with my lobsters twice but never right as birthing happened. I did see it happen with my old Centruroides vittatus scorpions though. Btw Kyle do you have Periplaneta americana white eyed morphs? I got mine a few weeks back now and haven't seen a single ootheca yet. Don't P. americana lay one every few days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was from frost damage when they were shipped, but she just couldn't lay any ooths. About 7 months after maturing she finally laid a really deformed one. The tiniest female, who arrived missing 3 legs due to frost damage, and was only about 1/4", grew up and produced (and is still producing) plenty of fertile ones.

I have two adult pairs and they look fine physically. The wings are a little messed up but I'm guessing that's from molting and not shipping. I'll need to wait and see I guess. How often does yours lay ooths? And how many babies has that one produced? Or are there other adults now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are there other adults now? No idea on the number of ooths but I'm always finding them. There are a good 50 mixed nymphs in the tank now.
