Edward Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hello all, I'm a student in California with an avid interest in inverts. Although I'm only keeping a few G. Oblongonota as pets as of now, I plan to acquire more species as I get the chance to. I actually first got into inverts after finding a chinese mantis perched on my front fence gate, who I kept for three weeks or so. I'm looking forward to conversing with you all. Regards, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hell Ed, Welcome! Do you have any monster male G. oblongonota yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi Orin, Not yet, I've only obtained a few large nymphs (2"+) 3-4 weeks ago, I'm not sure how close they are to adulthood, but I haven't seen any molts yet.I've heard about the monster males, of course, actually that was one of the reasons I decided to get oblongonota.

Keith Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 In the past I had a small male Hisser and I remember he would never hiss at all! He was kept alone got him as a pet. Was the lack of hissing meaning he was tame and not nervous when I held him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Although I've heard oblongonota hisses more than portentosa,mine rarely hiss. Only one or two hiss, and only when I scare them in the morning. In that case, I'm going to have to echo Keith's question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
