RomanBuck Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hello I recently got a starter colony of classic hissing roaches consisting of about 28 (had 30 but 2 females died for some reason an some have molted into adults) adults, and about 30 nymphs. I think I have seen some females with egg cases but it's been 2 weeks now and haven't seen any breeding activity. Could it be that I haven't had heat on the for 3 days? Any input is great!

PlantMan Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 You mean to say that you saw some females with egg cases out their butts? well that would signal the "half-way point" for their gestation, which typically takes about 2 months. if it's only been 2 weeks since you can confirm your girls are gravid, then you have nothing to worry about.

RomanBuck Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well i can only hope! i wish they were like my dubia and keep popping out tiny little nymphs after another! I have way to many small nymphs and not enough large ones for my beardie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
