    Javanica always on the food zone

    I have seen a female Javanica always in the food zone...sometime ago I have seen a hisser female doing the same. The female Javanica has found dead over the food...I guess that each time a roach passes all the day on the food zone without eating it might be a sign that it´s sick. The female...

    Nymphs on a separated box

    I have put nymphs on a separated box (a small tight one, I can´t find tight big ones). Every time I find a nymph that escapes from the adult box I put it in the small tigh one. Until now no one has died ! Normally with adults there would always be like 2 deaths in a group of 10. I think this...

    I am searching for alternatives to egg crates. -------- The alternatives must: 1 - Be impermeable 2 - Increase the surface area (like the egg crate advantage compared to the wood log) -------- There are 3 options: 1 - PVC tubes (scratched with iron sponge to make it climbable) 2 - Lego...

    Missing legs and antennas

    Some "brown" classic hissers I have don´t have the last section of their legs. The last section is the one that allows them to climb. Is this a genetic defect on the "brown" classic hissers ? Some hissers have theirs antennas cutted. His there a feeding problem ? I give them cat food...is...

    Assisted forced mating ?

    Since "artificial insemination" is hard to do in insects (technical tools, knowledge, etc...) I wonder if assisted forced mating could be possible. --------- Let me describe this crazy idea: The problem with artificial insemination is to get the semen...so is better to let the male insert in...

    Selective breeding

    I have a classic hisser with a "pancake" shape. I have never seen one like that and I wanted to have more like him. How do you make selective breeding ? I have putted him in a smaller container with 4 females...but I have questions about it. --------- How much space is needed ? I have read...

    Do not center food in one zone

    Yesterday I have re-organized the vivarium and I putted a central "food zone". A male didn´t stop hissing around...he was pushing all the other males from his territory...the "food zone". Today I have lost my mind (I had a hard day) and I picked him up and I trowed him to a garden...it was the...

    Environment for G.Portentosa and E.Javanica

    I have 2 colonies, one of G.Portentosa and another one of E.Javanica. What´s the best enviroment for them (food preferences, heat, humidity) ? I think the humidity level for a Portentosa is not the same for a Javanica.

    Hisser maternity micro-vivarium

    I still don´t have hisser babies but I had 3 that were sent by the seller. Only one of them is alive. I think a 80 Liters tank is maybe big to them and they won´t find food easily, sometimes they are hidden under the substrate of the opposite side of the vivarium. If I had a micro-vivarium to...

    Trying to make hisser hybrids

    I want to make hybrids (because they will have more colors, more shapes, etc...). Can Princisia vanwaerebeki, G. Portentosa, Aeluropoda insignis hybridize between them ? Or is this a "hybrid nigthmare" ? Princisia vanwaerebeki

    Hissers coloration and Food

    I have read somewhere that the coloration of Hissers (of the same species) is not genetic, it´s connected with the food. I think I have also read that a hisser can be more darker or more brown depending on what it eats. Is this true ? If so, what food can make him more brown ?

    How to hybridize ?

    I am think on hybridizing the Classic Hisser with the Javanica hisser. Questions: 1- If anyone has already tried it, what were the results ? 2- A roach female stays pregnant for life (i am noob) ? So if it crosses with a male it will never cross with any other one because "one time fun" is...
