Palor0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 So a few months ago I bought some roach nymphs to feed the gecko girl and a few of them were just to big to be dinner.

Ralph Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Aww... for a wing-biting cannibal, he's (or she) pretty cute. How big is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palor0 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think this one is a male and he is about 1.5" and his wings go past his body about a 1/4" and another pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crepsis Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Do they get their orange coloring after their exoskeleton has dried a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Do they get their orange coloring after their exoskeleton has dried a bit? Yes. Pale when freshly molted (1st day or so) and color up within a few days. Males are notoriously the first to appear if the nymphs are the same approximate age.
