Roachsmith Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 My very first adult moulted out last night! He was still white but I wanted to get some pics. I'm going to check him out when I get home today and take some more pictures of him. He should be all hardened up and colorful by now. So excited!! He's HUGE!

Roachsmith Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Sometimes I like to feed my roaches cats Peppereds sure have strange little faces don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Peppereds sure have ... Is that a male or a female? A pic of the underside of the tail end would tell.... the top view leaves me guessing its a female. If it is a male, when you get a female you will be more impressed as they are slightly larger/bigger looking from being wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachsmith Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 This one is a male. He's still my only adult. I hope more of them mature soon so I'll get to see what a female looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I just had my first Peppered molt yesterday. They are by far the most beautiful roach. Mine's a male as well, but his colors are a bit more subdued with a less dense area of black, more peppered. Pics shall come soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 BTW, is it pronounced Are-KEE- or ArchY- mandrita? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachsmith Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Saw some mating action last night. I didn't realize I had two adults even. This was the only good pic I could get, it happened so fast. I very nearly caught it on video but as soon as I got the lighting right the male decided he would rather have dinner than mate. Doh! These guys do the wing display too. It was fun to watch the male dance around. I'm used to seeing roaches just back into eachother to mate but looks like the male raises his wings and the female climbs on his back, hooks up, then turns around. Kind of like my b. fumigata. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
