Gsc Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 When I came home today I was suprised to find that I FINALLY had some Deropeltis paulinoi hatch out. Hopefully the other egg cases will begin hatching also! I really love these guys- the halloween colors are great! Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyuZo Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Congratulation Graham, how long did it takes for yours to hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsc Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Not completely sure since I didn't seperate out the egg cases and just left them in the cage...but I'm guessing maybe around 4 months... Thanks- I'm excited too... Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsc Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 LOL- they are a great species. I hvae had 2 more eggcases hatch over the past few months. The colony is finally beginning to get established. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 A year from now you may have more than you know what to do with! Might not take that long. You can't even feed them to anything since a lot of things won't touch them because of the quinones and feeding them turns your hands brown anyway. Really sharp looking species though.

Roachsmith Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Congrats! One of mine just laid it's first ooth yesterday! I'm so excited. I hope it hatches. Would it be safe to separate it from the adults or should I just leave it in there? I kind of want to keep track of how long it takes and how many nymphs emerge.

You can leave it in, they won't bother it (unlike P.americana which eat their own eggcases). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EffeCi Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My eggcases have started to hatch in these days too... We have experimented Deropeltis erythrocephala ("Mombasa") as feeder for tarantulas, and it seems to work well... but spiders have external digestion, so they seem to be not disturbed by quinons...

PeriplanetaAmericana Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Congratulations both Gsc and EffeCi. Do you have photos of the eggcases and the new babies? Best regards, Javier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
