Hisserdude Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I tried taking some pics yesterday but could only get 2 crappy pic cause the nymphs started pouring out of the container. LOL That's what happens with the L.rehni you gave me, as soon as the container is moved or jostled in the slightest, they all go to the top of the enclosure!! Makes it really hard to get pictures of them lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Aww how adorable!! Really hope these grow well for you, never heard of anyone breeding this particular species, though that's probably just due to lack of interest and their relative rarity.

Thanks I believe Orin had this species before as he have posted pics of adults on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks I believe Orin had this species before as he have posted pics of adults on this forum. Yeah, but I don't know if he was able to breed them or not, his book mentioned them but did not have any info on husbandry, leading me to believe that he had little to no success in breeding them unfortunately. Then again I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 I've screwed up really bad this time I started seeing black fungi in the container these were kept in, but didn't give much thought on it since I've seen these fungi in other roach colonies before. Soon, I started seeing nymphs with black antennae and legs so I decided to see what's going on. When I checked inside, about 3/4 of my nymphs were missing, and the remaining ones aren't looking good. Even the adult female had black antennae and legs, and seemed lethargic. It appears that the black parts were the spores of this type of fungi and it gets on you easily so the spores got onto the roaches and stressed them out to death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Crap man, sounds bad. Don't beat yourself up too bad about it though, wasn't your fault. At least the fungus itself does not seem to be entomophagus, so any new nymphs that hatch out of your female's oothecae and hopefully the remaining ones will be OK. Hope your surviving individuals bounce back, keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariblatta lutea Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Fingers crossed it hatches!! Thanks So far it seems that the nymphs and the adult recovered from damage! Their color is turning light again and they seem more lively than before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
