Hisserdude Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 So I only have three Pseudomops septentrionalis left, two adults and one nymph. One adult has been mature for a little over two months now. The other just molted a few weeks ago. I thought they were both male, seeing as I had not seen any mating activity or any sort of egg laying. Just checked the cage today and found the newer adult laying a nice big ooth!!! Looks like I may be able to breed this species yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Might need to hang some mistletoe over their container Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Wish u luck! Would really recommend starting with at least 20 individuals if you planning on starting another colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 @Matttoadman: Haha, I should shouldn't I! @Cariblatta: Yeah, got them as a free starter colony from Kyle. He sent 9, (or at least I received 9), a few died mysteriously and a few seemed to have escaped... pretty lucky that I got a pair to mate before they all died out!

Hisserdude Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Here's another little miracle, last night my sister saw something moving on the floor, she told me "there's a roach on the floor". I had just checked my Rhabdoblatta formosana cage which is full of skittish and flighty adults, so I thought it must be one of those. I look on the floor and see my SOLE ADULT FEMALE Pseudomops septentrionalis running across the floor. I caught her and put her in an escape proof cage. If my sister had not happened to look on the floor, my female would have escaped and died in the house, and I would lose this species. It was a freaking miracle she saw it before it got under the furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Ha! That's even more of a miracle than the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 It sure is! Just escape proofed their enclosure today, no more roaches will escape from that container... EVER! Muahahahahahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Congrats on your (hopeful) success with species! Glad you caught your female too! They're a really neat species to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Thanks, I got my fingers crossed! Hopefully there will be no other mishaps with these guys, it's like the world is trying as hard as it can to stop me from keeping this species!

Fingerlakefeeders Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Lefty Gomez would be proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
