Cariblatta lutea Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Got this beautiful species from Wizentrop One of the females gave birth in transit so I have a nice group of adults and nymphs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Nice man, glad to see another person keeping this beautiful species! I'm still waiting on mine to give birth, they are taking forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Bill Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Is that a male? Big fellas aren't they? All the best from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Nice man, glad to see another person keeping this beautiful species! I'm still waiting on mine to give birth, they are taking forever. Hope you'll get babies from yours soon! They might've already given birth since the babies are tiny (and yellow) so they are hard to spot Is that a male? Big fellas aren't they? All the best from Bill. Yep, it's a male. This species is about the same size as Panchlora sp. "Giant"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might've already given birth since the babies are tiny (and yellow) so they are hard to spot Thanks, me too! IDK, I've been checking the cage thoroughly when I feed them, and I have yet to see any babies. Do you think it's possible that the Tropical pink springtails in the cage may be stressing them out? There are a TON of them in that enclosure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say, since I have tropical pink springtails in my Panchlora sp. "Giant" enclosure yet they seem to be doing well to the point where I've started using them as feeders. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a relief, since in my collection my cages only seem to have the choice of being infested with mites or springtails, no enclosure can have neither lol! (Though a third option has started showing up in my dry cages in the form of a species of Psocid). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizentrop Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hisserdude, your females should have given birth by now. By the way, I do not keep this species with any other arthropods, but I do have predatory mites in their enclosure (they come and go). That being said, they should be perfectly fine with springtails/isopods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, they should be perfectly fine with springtails/isopods. That's what worries me, the conditions should be perfect for breeding, but they just refuse to give birth! Yeah, I doubt the springtails are the problem, I'm just getting a little paranoid lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 My last two females gave birth yesterday and died. Now I'm confident that I can start a colony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Nice man, congrats! Still waiting on my last female to give birth, otherwise I'll only have less than a dozen nymphs total... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Congrats on all the nymphs! How prolific are these compared to other Panchlora? I've contemplated getting that genus before, but it'll be once I've settled down and can give them the extra heat they need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How prolific are these compared to other Panchlora? I've contemplated getting that genus before, but it'll be once I've settled down and can give them the extra heat they need. Thanks They seem to be about as prolific as other Panchlora I've kept. Adults produced about a dozen nymphs in average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
