[histrio]

hi ,

i'm looking for the most big hisser in the hobby, I have found this :

Gromphadorhina grandidieri  45 à 70cm

G.     G portentosa de 45 à 88cm

  G. picea de 53 à 85cm 

          Elliptorhina chopardi  36 à 44cm

    E. brunneri  35 à 47cm

   E. javanica  35 à 50cm

E laevigata 58 à 70CM

       Princisia vanwaerebeki  56 à 100cm voire davantage (or more)

 

       These informations comes from a great french institut who study insect and environment, but someone has ever see a cockroach with a size around 10cm?

I have a feeling they meant to write "mm", instead of "cm"!

I think its probably the Wide Horn Hissers are the longest and heaviest of all the hisser species, although I've seen and had quiet a few common hissers (portentosa) females push nearly the size of the wide horns. 

I'd love to get my hands on some vanwaerebeki, but seems there's not any for sale in the years I've been searching.
