scottbot84 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 My pair of Rhino roaches may or may not have matured recently, it seems too soon but after a recent molt I'm seeing adult coloration and the male has a noticeable scoop. Both are around the same age, being born in Spring (April/June) 2019 or so. Looking at pics the male seems most likely to be mature, not sure about the female. Does it seem like I have a few molts to go or should I cross my fingers for nymphs in the next year or so? Here's the male Sorry for quality but the scoop is pretty obvious. Here's a quick snap of the female 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The male is an adult, like hissers some are big and impressive, others not so much. The female does not look mature but it is harder to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbot84 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 yeah he seems like a smaller male, especially given his maturity time. Female definitely changed color last molt, it's been much more of a "candy apple" red, initially I thought it was just due to a fresh molt. She might have another molt or two, I'm not sure.

scottbot84 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Female just molted, so was definitely not mature. Waiting to see what she looks like after her exoskeleton hardens and her color is final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbot84 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 To my untrained eye color and shape look more like pictures I've seen of adults. Male is definitely mature, so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
