KitKatie329 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 In my experience females are larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thank you for your help. I had a male who was slightly larger than the female and he's one tough guy, waiting to see if the offspring will be super sized too now that I know he is abnormally large.

KitKatie329 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 How awesome, I wish you luck. I have 3 "giant" males and it seems that they are too large to breed, no matter how many females I put in with them, none ever get gravid. Then again, my males dwarf my females, hopefully yours are a bit closer in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Just wondering who is usually larger, males or females? Which species and when you say larger do you mean in length or weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 It says hissers in the title. Females tend to be both bulkier and larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It says hissers in the title. Females tend to be both bulkier and larger. There are multiple species of hissers. For example, Aeluropoda insignis (Flat Horn Madagascar Hissing Roach), Elliptorhina chopardi (Dwarf Madagascar Hissing Roach) Elliptorhina javanica (Halloween Madagascar Hissing Roach), Gromphadorhina oblongonota (Wide Horn Madagascar Hissing Roach), Gromphadorhina portentosa (Madagascar Hissing Roach) and others.
