B.dubia possible hermaphrodites?

[panterafreak21]

so i have a colony of about 200 mixed sized dubia. roughly 20 females no males... i took the last cycle of males out of the colony about 7months ago and the females continue to have babies.is it possible they can triple clutch or more? or can they possibly be hermaphrodites.. cant find very much info on this topic.

Females are gravid for life after mating once. So they will continue popping out babies until the day they die, with no more male interaction.

In some cases if the female doesnt get enough sperm from the male she will mate again so keep a few males just in case

Very possible, never a bad idea to leave 1 male floating around.

I think iam just going to leave all the males in the main home.. If the females are gonna have babies no matter what might aswell save space and keep them all as one colony.
