RomanBuck Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 They look like normal G. portentosa but there is really no way to tell until you get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneofall Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have them already, but these are my first hissers, so not much to go by one features to look for. I was just wondering if someone already has ordered here and had a good idea. I was originally breeding as feeders but the whole group is becoming increasingly interesting to me. Maybe I can take close ups when I have some more time today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanBuck Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 looks like normal hissers, BUT they have red on their pronotum so they very well could be hybrids. BUT i also could be wrong who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebbewocky Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Unless you have some sort of lineage traceable hissers, or it is some other specific taxa, always assume that hissers means hybrids of G.portentosa. Those were widely hybridized in the past. Same with many Blaberus. I'm not throwing anyone under the bus here, just stating a reality of the hobby. I've kept G.portentosa in the past and likely will again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
