Redmont Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Very neat, almost looks like a smiley face! You should try and breed specifically for this color form, although I'm sure it would be a long time before you saw any results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanislas Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 That a nice pattern. Only I suppose it will take some time before the market is flooded with this form, as Redmont mentioned But nonetheless worth trying to culture. Btw has anyone very tried to make / did by accudent create a Therea olegrandjeani - Therea petiveriana hybrid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 I wonder a lot about hybrids in this genus but I only have the one species to play with I will defiantly try to isolate this morph if I can. This one is a male so I will isolate the females that have not matured yet. These actually mature pretty fast for me most places say 8 months to a year but I think living in texas helps them mature faster I think mine went from hatching to adult in 4 months.

Hisserdude Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 This is a fairly common mutation, I had a Question mark come out similar looking, Orin McMonigle has been breeding for this trait for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allpet Roaches Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I had a colony with more than 60% showing this trait after a number of years. I figured I'd have shortly isolated it but poor luck or management resulted in probable complete collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
