Cariblatta lutea Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Ooh! Never seen any of the Balta species in the US! Hope you are successful breeding them! Thanks These have been quite troublesome in the beginning but seem to be taking off nicely now. Balta notulata on the other hand has been doing extremely well since the beginning Very nice looking species! Thanks and ya, they are beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Interesting, what's their care like? And you also have B.notulata!? Now you got to upload some pics of those too! I'm keeping them on semi-moist eco earth with lots of oak leaves on top, and I keep orange P. scaber as cleanup crew. Been feeding them fish flakes and dog food. I want to get pics of notulata too, but the nymphs are so tiny and restless that I can't get a pic out of them. Will be taking some pics once they grow large enough for me to have easier time getting pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Update on these guys : Unfortunately, out of around 30+ nymphs I had only 8 survived (4 second instars and 4 pre sub) while I was away for spring break I'm hoping I'll be able to get a pair out of these survivors and continue breeding this species! On a side note, Balta notulata are doing super well compare to villis. Almost all of my nymphs born from the single female has made it to subadult so I'm hoping to be able to see adults soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
