RaZias Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 My vivarium is a transparent plastic box (140 liters) with 15 hissers. I going to put a big black plastic box inside the vivarium. ----------- Questions: 1- Do hissers prefere/like to hide in dark places ? 2- Do dark places increase the breeding for hissers ? 3- If the black box I am going to put was transparent would give them problems ? Like perturbating they day/night cycle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briene Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Some of my hissers are in clear containers and my metro rack is by a window so they deal with light....I've never had an issues with reproduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Most roach species are nocturnal, meaning come out at night, so they do prefer hiding and to come out in the dark. They will breed even if in light but something to remember, roaches exposed to light all the time may be more stressed, and constant stress can lead to more aborted young. So given the option to hide would be better for them. I have hissers and they always hide until the room is dark then they emerge to eat.
