dactylus Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Did the sale of this variety ever happen? Is anyone currently working with this cultivar and selling offspring? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I don't think @JohnFrost ever sold any to anyone, and I haven't heard from him in years... Can't help but assume he stopped breeding roaches for some reason, and this strain died out without being distributed in the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dactylus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Thanks for the info. That's too bad if this strain died out. I was looking forward to this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was really looking forward to these too, sad that John has seemingly left the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenB Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Just read this topic and yes, it's a genuine pity. It's a very attractive morph. Though with the sheer amount of dubias being bred, I wonder why no-one else seems to have encountered or isolated something like this. Maybe unusually coloured roaches pale in comparison (in some eyes) to unusually coloured bearded dragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've reached out to him, and we can only hope that he simply has forgotten his login or something along those lines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForgotMyLogin Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 They are still going strong. The males took almost as long to isolate as the females did originally. I have 2 colonies and rebuilt the main grow out. Honestly, It was really nice to see all the positive feedback, even after all of these years... and you're right, it's about time I let them out into the world. I will start specifically separating them into breeding groups for sale over the next few months. I still have no idea about pricing or distribution, and am open to suggestions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgotMyLogin Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I think that this is the final color morph. I will post a group photo of the breeders shortly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForgotMyLogin Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 A picture of the nymph colony. There a few examples of the orange nymphs, though it has not been specifically selected for, nearly all of the nymphs are light in color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dactylus Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 They look great! Thank you for the update. I'm interested in obtaining a starter group once you decide on pricing and a release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgotMyLogin Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I've just started to put the next generation together, and am considering options for what people would want in relation to both price and quantity. I will put together breeding groups, and sell them as they come ready/upon request. 2 females 1 male and 10 medium-large nymphs for $30+ flat rate shipping for an xsmall colony in the US. 5 females 2 males 20 medium-large nymphs for $50+ shipping for a small. -PayPal- A lot of things have changed over the years, but sitting there, going through my colonies, and just slowing down with these guys has been a real pleasure. I want to do this right. I want to make sure people are happy with what they get, and are still able to keep the breed going. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 @ForgotMyLogin what do you want the strain to be called BTW? "Yellow"? "Johnfrost Yellow"? Should have a distinct name from the other "Gold" strains in the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgotMyLogin Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Amber Dubia is what is being suggested. I like the sound of it, and it's descriptive if nothing else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
