Bufo Bill Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Love these guys! The nymphs have similar colouration to quail eggs I see why the adults are called ghost roaches too! All the best from Bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adults and the nymphs are very pretty, I only wish the adults weren't hyper maniacs so I could look at them more often! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They jump and fly too much or they do they hyde themselves ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adult males are PSYCHO, so much more so than any Gyna species I've kept... The mature females typically stay underground, as do the nymphs, but the adult males are freaking crazy, always climbing and attempting to fly out of the enclosure when disturbed. In the day they are less active, and can be easily distracted with banana, but I definitely wouldn't recommend checking on them at night.

aoikirin Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Gyna is a genus? What do roaches of this type have in terms of longevity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Gyna is the genus, caffrorum is the species. The adult males only seem to last a couple months, females can live twice as long, maybe even more. Overall, they have pretty short adult lifespans.

Jeb Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Can we keep Gyna sp. in Exo-terra enclosures like this ? Do they support a normal room temperature (20°) or do they need a heater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they support a normal room temperature (20°) or do they need a heater? I have a feeling the males could squeeze through the gap in the doors, so I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think they'll reproduce at 20C°, 22-29C° would be better for breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlon Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I was thinking about putting a loop of clear tape on each door edge to make a flexible gap filler it might work out ok. I haven't tried it yet though. wall _____ |_|(___ <door ^ that does not look how I wanted it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInv4sion Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The substrate looks so nice. You mind telling me what you did with it? I see dry leaf litter but are those pine needles?(The stringy things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matttoadman Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Mine just started maturing a week ago. Now I mist the zoomed bugarium ands it’s an explosion of adults. It’s a race to shut the lid too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
