platymeris Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi, how long does each species take to mature (am guessing the sp takes slightly longer)? And are there any specific differences with regard to their care/breeding? Would appreciate any information. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well Panchlora sp. stands for Panchlora species, so are you asking if the P. nivea species matures faster than any other species from the Panchlora genus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platymeris Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Sorry silly mistake, I forgot to add 'giant'! Do Panchlora sp. 'giant' and Panchlora nivea differ much in their maturation and breeding time? There are some threads on lifespan etc, but can't seem to find much information otherwise.

Blattodea313 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Both of them live 6 months from what I have gathered. I would say that they probably take a few months (3-4) to reach maturity. However, heat and food availability can speed up growth. I keep a huge amount of dry food in my hisser enclosure, and a few of them have reached maturity in 2 months. I would get Panchlora nivea if I were picking between the two species. Panchlora nivea is a lot cheaper than than the other. Hope this helps some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platymeris Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hi Blattodea313, thanks for the useful information! Would you say that the Panchlora sp 'giant' take longer to mature and/or breed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I would say yes just because they are larger. I do not know for sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOO CENTRE Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The age depends to conditions especially temperature. lower temperature= longer growing and longer age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
