dEsSiCaTa_UK 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 So ive got 2 adults pairs now, the one female has been adult for a fair while, when should i expect to see nymphs? Have seen mating displays before, pretty stunning, especially when you had no idea they did that :yikes: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zephyr 2 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Anywhere from 4-10 months from now. They're rather prolific once they get going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have seen mating displays before, pretty stunning, especially when you had no idea they did that :yikes: I've got a bunch of adults and large nymphs that I recently acquired. Mine are taking their sweet time too. I keep wondering if they've had babies and the babies are really good at hiding deep in the substrate. I keep checking every few days, but so far, nothing.

BugmanPrice 1 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 They have a pretty long incubation period but don’t worry yourself; within a short time you’ll have plenty of them! I think every ‘roach keeper out there should have a colony of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt K 4 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 They do seem to be REALLY slow to get started, and maybe somewhat slow to reproduce (not really slow, but slower than one would think compared to the Blaberus genus). But once they get going they can be steady producers, and worth the time. The nymphs are probably the proportionately largest of all the roaches, which is really cool.
