Hiya,
I picked up some Deathhead roaches at a reptile show over the weekend.
I have about 40 of them, but here's the interesting thing....
It appears that what I have are both the true death heads and the
false ones. I've looked at photos and I definitely have some B. cranifers
with the black wings.
I also seem to have the discoides, so I'm wondering if these are interbreeding?
Or could it just be that some of my cranifers don't have the solid black wings
like others do because they're really old or something?
These things are HUGE too and so cool! I look forward to getting enough
of them so that I can feed some of my larger T's the nice yummy roaches.
Interestingly enough, when I brought them home over the weekend, I had
4 or 5 adults. I now have 6 and I noticed a few newborn babies in the
bunch.
