recluse Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Adult males. The coin is a quarter. Those are impressive sized boys. What are they in inches....I can guesstimate with the quarter for scale, just wondering. I had a small group of G. oblongonata years ago. One male and two females. The lady I got them from bought them from Roachfreak101 on that site. I really could not tell the difference from my other hissers. The male was almost four inches long. I eventually put the three in my hisser colony, I wouldnt do this with any of my other colonies, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I tried to re-size the image so it would appear on screen at the same size they are in real life. I measured the oblongonata in at a bit over 4 inches (but he wasn't cooperating and was scrunching up a lot). The Macropanesthia is probably a little under or over 3.

Allpet Roaches Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 If you had as many male rhinos as oblongos to pick the best one from your outcome would likely be very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 If you had as many male rhinos as oblongos to pick the best one from your outcome would likely be very different. This is true. The females are about the oblongo's length or longer. Coincidentally the male oblongo is from your line Orin. The one that doesn't get very big...

Allpet Roaches Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The one that doesn't get very big... It does get big. It doesn't get as big as the "princisia big" mixed stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter and Debbie Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 the obolongonata in my set up are so strong that when the males fight the whole place gets rearranged. I sometimes grab the largest male and test him out by pushing against his horns and he will push mack equally strong and try to flip my finger. Rhinos are just plane amazing in size and beauty.

Matt K Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Are yoiu sure that is a fully mature male rhino? Mine were nearly 3 and 7/8ths inches, and my females were 4 to 1/4.... thought I posted a female photo a long while back.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yep, he's mature. But as I said the females are definitely bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
