    I think I'm almost to that point. Judging by the shape of the abdomen and relative length of the legs, I believe this is the female...

    It is not mature. It was obtained from a private party and sold as rufilata. I have my suspicions though as the carapace markings are not consistent. I will get more pictures. I also received a female from the same brood. I'm not sure how to tell which is which without the ventral end...

    Eight Legged Conundrum

    I am a passionate hobbyist who has decided to take this experience to the next level. Breeding T's and raising slings has proven to be a very rewarding challenge. I am hoping to make some money by selling the T's I have produced so I can buy other adults to add to my collection! =)

    B. Lateralis Ootheca Hatching

    How long would a typical ootheca take to hatch with this method? I've read it can be from a few days to a few weeks. What was your experience?

    B. Lateralis Ootheca Hatching

    I agree, it sounds bad but... Strictly in terms of just getting them to hatch... I'm hoping it's okay?

    B. Lateralis Ootheca Hatching

    I'm very glad that we are having this discussion. After reconsidering, I think my paper towel was too moist. Plus the ootheca were touching it directly. The warmest place in my building is about 75° so I have altered my idea. I'm taking a page out of aphono's book and putting the ootheca in...

    Blatta Lateralis Care

    OMG! I had no idea... to be honest, I thought you were pulling my leg so I googled it. I've never heard of this. I'm glad I never tried to feed them cucumbers. Thank you

    Blatta Lateralis Care

    I'm genuinely curious why you say this. So far I've just done apples, oranges, and carrots... Never even thought about cucumber! So what's the deal?

    B. Lateralis Ootheca Hatching

    Hi All, I was looking for some feedback on this idea... Since I'm having trouble getting nymphs from my colony, I though I would try putting some ootheca in a sealed sandwich bag with some moist sphagnum moss for humidity and place it on top of a reptile heating pad. Thoughts? Thanks

    Help Identify this Mysterious Larvae?

    Hello all, Long story short, I found these (and several others) larvae in with my roach colony. I suspect they are mealworms but would appreciate some insight from the group. Do I need to worry about these? Thanks

    Breeding Questions

    I agree, it's not the best choice for a first attempt. I did do some research and feel the timing is right. I'm just not very familiar with the basic mechanics involved and haven't had much luck finding answers to my questions . It is indeed a very tedious courtship. The first pairing was...

    Breeding Questions

    Hi Everyone. I'm doing my first breeding project (GBBs) and have a few questions. 1) Is there a way to "know" that insertion was successful? After I saw physical contact of the males pedipalp to the underside of the females abdomen, I separated them. My concern is that the female was...

    A few questions on breeding

    Not trying to hijack here but it's sort of an extension of the OPs question... During a pairing, if the male is successful with the insertion, would the female continue to drum?
