Hisserdude Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Adorable! These are easy to breed right? I think I have heard of people in Europe using them as feeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Adorable! These are easy to breed right? I think I have heard of people in Europe using them as feeders. Seller told me could be a bit challenging because they will die if kept too moist for extended period of time because they have ability to absorb moisture from atmosphere. Fortunately it hasn't happened with mine yet but I'm keeping them on a dry side just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 My initial colony died, but i managed to acquire around ~30 specimens from Wizentrop on Sept. I saw several females producing ooths when I got them, but I didn't see any hatchlings for month. Well...yesterday I was feeding the roaches and noticed orange babies! Can't wait for more to hatch out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 That's great, glad to hear they reproduced! Does this species produce a lot of nymphs in each ooth, or is it a pretty small number overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Mainly curious of nymph number because the ooths are huge in relation to the female! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are around 20 nymphs in the enclosure so it appears that each ooth produce around 20 nymphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad number then. I'm guessing they produce at least a few ooths then before dying as well. How much were they from Wizentrop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They produce fair number of ooths They were $14 for a group of 20 individuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
