Cariblatta lutea Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm seeing multiple oothecae in the enclosure now. Hoping all will hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 After a long wait, one of the oothecae finally hatched! Will be "trying" my best to take pics of tiny black nymphs. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Awesome! How are you keeping your ooths? I'm leaving them on a bark where the females have glued the eggs. I also keep the container really humid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 They are such a pain in the butt to take pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Aww cute! I wonder why some people have problems breeding this species, they seem easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanBuck Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I always think of these as Periplaneta australasiae lol. Love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just wondering how these guys doing for you? And do the nymphs have any glass climbing capabilities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just wondering how these guys doing for you? And do the nymphs have any glass climbing capabilities? My original colony is infected with entomophagous fungi so I had to get a new stock. Hoping the new ones I got will do well for me. Nymphs can climb just like Periplaneta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nymphs can climb just like Periplaneta That sucks, just lost all of my Parcoblatta bolliana save one female to the fungus, hopefully she'll pull through. Hope your next bunch does well! And thanks, I kinda figured they could climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your next bunch does well! And thanks, I kinda figured they could climb. Sounds like you are getting hit really hard by those fungi just like me. Perhaps you've accidentally introduced the fungi through a contaminated substrate or food? In my case a peat moss I bought and used for most of my roaches had entomophagous fungi (I'm guessing it's for natural pest control) so all the roaches I kept on that peat moss got infected. Hope your other roaches don't get affected by the fungi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 These roaches were WC, and some of them apparently had the fungi in them already when I got them. C.lutea, P.bolliana and the unknown Parcoblatta are the only species that ever had it, and I thought it was under control, until now. No other roaches have been turning up dead or infected, so I'm hoping those species are the only ones that are infected. Fingers crossed it doesn't spread!

In that case you probably won't have problems with your CB colonies as long as you don't reuse what was in the affected colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha nope, substrate has been removed and the cages have been cleaned out with soap, I will definitely not be reusing any infected substrate or decor. Hopefully this thing stops here.

Hopefully this thing stops here. To play it safe, I might actually recommend using a little bit of bleach to clean out the enclosures and then rinsing them out several times with water. Soap will probably be enough, but fungi can be extremely tough and bleach is one of the harshest substances you can (easily) get a hold of to use for cleaning.
