Robomantic Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 These guys are what is left of a colony I started from two hissers I bought from a petstore. I bought the original "Hank" as a treat for my tarantula (back when I only had one), but he was too cool to feed off so I eventually went back and got him a lady friend (He was bright orange, but she was almost entirely black). The colony exploded for awhile, but after a couple years I've come down to a foursome so here they are. This is Big Mama (I think you can see why I call her that lol). This one I call Big Daddy (though he's obviously not as big as Mama). These are the two youngsters. This one's got some pretty cool stripes going on.

Wolfie Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Very pretty, though hissers always are! I definitely envy the stripes on the last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robomantic Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks He's the only one I have that turned out like that. Kinda neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likebugs Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It looks as if it is full or may molt soon. If you feed your roaches enough of a food that they like enough to get fat on, you will see many with stripes. The white is just the skin between their segments.
