Maarten.. Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 A couple of weekends ago I've totally cleaned my dubia colony. I took my chances to take some pictures. A clear example of color difference amongst two adult males. An adult female, it's a pity that the antennae are damaged. Now I do know how many dbia roaches I own, some 4 liters. A high view. This is their cleaned home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Clausen Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Speaking of peers, I'm surprised to see so many Black Adder fans. I've got I, II & III and BA Goes Forth on VHS. Question of relevance...do a bucket of dubia go as well with the show as a bucket of popcorn? Certainly, either is better than a potato shaped like a...or was that a turnip? I keep my young dubia with isopods. It's amazing how similar they look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I've been raising some dubia, comparing siblings. Most dubia are brownish, but some brothers were black like yours. I noticed 2 things about this phenomena, the black individuals are always larger and always more dominant. So my guess is its good to be a darker male dubia.
