Allpet Roaches Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hi everyone, I was wondering if some of you could share the methods and techniques for breeding this species? (ie substrate, temps, food, humidity) thanks! This species is slow to get going but eventually can produce well. 70-85F. . At least one side of the substrate should always be rather damp.

Gsc Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 My group is just reaching maturity...I think the answer is TIME...follow the genral guidelines that Orin mentioned and just wait... I know how it is..I too can't wait to see baby Lucihormetica in the substrate! Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have 4 mature Lucihormetica subcincta (2 M, 2F) I bought from roachcrossing.com as nymphs. I have them at 75 F and have a dry side and a moist side with a coir, moss, aspen substrate. I feed them fruits, veggies and dry dog food. They have been adults for over 6 months but no nymphs yet. Do they lay egg cases? Anybody have any experience with breeding these? How long is their gestation? They seem like very slow reproducers. I also have springtails and a few isopods in with them. I also have a small piece of cardboard egg crate and a few small pieces of cork bark. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase the temperature to 80-85F and give them rotten wood - and you will see........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
