Hisserdude Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just received 6 nymphs in the mail today from @wizentrop, they are so neat looking, and bigger than I thought they would be! Let's hope they'll do well for me! Here are some pictures of a nymph: So cute right!? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talace Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I am a novice and if there is only a Latin name I skip a ad.. Comon names help so much to home in on what I am looking for.. More hissers or so many cool ones ..need more space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same common names can and have been applied to several different species and they are not as specific as the scientific name. The more that you know about the specific animals that you're keeping the better off you and the animal are. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talace Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Maybe I should have said it better lol what I ment was I like the common name but then use the Latin to look up info on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 My nymphs are growing, slowly but surely! My largest nymph, (a female), molted somewhat recently, and she's now a beautiful black color, instead of the maroon coloration the smaller nymphs have: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 My males have started maturing, and they are freaking beautiful! Unfortunately due to me keeping them in too small of an enclosure, they came out a bit small, I'll be rehousing my culture later tonight. Here are some pictures of them: Here you can see a size comparison between one of my male apolinari and my male L.grossei, the apolinari should be quite a bit larger: Really can't wait until my females mature, hopefully I'll be able to breed them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Thanks @Cariblatta lutea for sending me two pairs of this species, have them set up in a bigger bin than last time, so maybe they'll come out normal sized this go around! 😂 Fingers crossed I can breed these beauties! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, they are quite stunning in person, the nymphs are reddish but not quite as red as my oversaturated pictures of them make them look. 😅 9 hours ago, Allpet Roaches said: So how are they doing? Any extras? Well I just reobtained this species a couple months ago, my starter group of nymphs hasn't matured yet, (apparently they may be near maturity though, as @Cariblatta lutea's have started maturing, and he's who I got mine off of). They take forever to gestate their broods though, so it'll be a long time until I have any available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed with mine, my adults just absolutely refused to breed no matter what I did. I'll be getting more from @Ty Randall soon, he's been one of the most successful breeders of them here in the states, you should ask him for care info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhjjr Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hmm I just ordered some from him, should be arriving tomorrow. 🤔 I just sent him a pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhjjr Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ty was kind enough to let me post how he cares for these guys (and Panesthia augustipennis cognata). "I treat them both almost the same highly dependent on rotten wood. I give a 6" deep substrate kept wet comprised of mainly flake soil and rotten hardwood leaves. Also provided with tons of hardwood logs. They are particularly fond of apples and dog food, but are also offered a variety of other roach fares as well." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizentrop Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 That's a very interesting observation. I have never added any wood or leaves to my colonies (H. strumosa and L. grossei) and mine are breeding fine. Actually I don't do anything special other than giving them deep substrate... Panesthia, on the other hand, really need the wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious, how deep are we talking? I have a lone, mated female that has never given birth for me in the 2 or so years that she's been mature. I've been keeping her on a substrate that's about 2 inches deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizentrop Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 My coco coir substrate is 5-6 inches deep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
