Roachman26 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I recently received a little starter colony of these and some of the females were near term when they arrive. I saw my first offspring today! Very exiting. From what I can tell, there aren't too many of these around. I'd like to get them going again in more roach rooms as they are really pretty cool. Does anybody else have these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I bred them two years ago, sold my colony, then got a few more. They're pretty sturdy roaches; much like lobsters and not so much like their literal cousins (the madereins.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugmanPrice Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I noticed there weren't any entries for this species in the photogallery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 2 adults, 2 large nymphs, and about 10-20 small nymphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachman26 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 2 adults, 2 large nymphs, and about 10-20 small nymphs. I found about 12 new babies in my tub today, but I'm guessing there are more in the substrate or leaf pile. They abandon ship as soon as I pick up their egg flat. I've got around 7 adults and 3 medium nymphs. Zephyr, where did your stock come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My very first stock (2 years ago) came from a local guy who runs a company called "Animal Magic." My current stock is from bugsincyberspace.
