Keith Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 from birth to adulthood, how many times does a hisser shed in its lifetime, is it the same amount for males and females? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 around 6 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 So it could be 5 if you say around 6 or could it be 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I would say more toward the 7 than the five. I guess it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I studied a few of my nymphs for a while, and they all ended up as a sub adult on their 5th molt. Maybe an excess of food and heat would make them an adult on their 5th molt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they all still have white stripes so I'm guessing they aren't fully grown but at this rate I think they will be giant morph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Post some pictures of the nymphs if possible. Sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
