Fast Breeding Hissers? Need Advice

S

Smiley

Second Instar
I'd like to start a hisser colony or two. What types of Hissers are the fastest reproducing and most trouble free? Any opinions are welcome.

Thanks

 
I would think the normal hisser, Gromphadorhina portentosa, would be the easiest to culture.

 
I found a pretty good deal in them too. Any secondary recommendations? It'll probably be a few months for the second one though.

 
At about 75 degrees, my Princisia vanwaerebecki consistently produce as well as my G. portentosa. Elliptorhina javanica are right up there too. G. oblongonota aren't too shabby, but for whatever reason the G. grandidieri seem to need more heat than I give them. I think one of the reasons a lot of people think the G. portentosa do especially well is that they are cheaply acquired and most people tend to have a larger founder colony of them (which naturally produces more nymphs in that exponential sort of way).

 
Yep G. portentosa are fast breeding but not trouble free, I have trouble to get rid of my thousands of hissers now lol

 
Thanks for the help. It's averaged about 20 degrees in NY for a while, so i guess new species will be delayed a little while.
