Baby Domino's

Finally baby Domino's. I started with about 2 dozen nymphs from Orin over a year ago. Sifting through the tank and noticed baby nymphs, patting my own back.

Thanks Hag. I remember when you were selling some of these. I actually had a pretty good male to female ratio. I had heard some people say 2 females to 8 males. Mine was more like 5:5.

My Therea (both species) seem to run about 60-65% males. Today I was looking at the slight pattern variations in T.grandjeani and thought I would share... (I also have some that are nearly white, but the pics were blurry...try to get more later):

Those look sweet Matt, T.grandjeani is next on my list of wants. Many times in my six years of officially keeping inverts I have thought of exclusivley keeping roaches and getting rid of everything else, I just haven't been able to quite do it yet.

I purchased several from Old Hag last fall and they have all since died but they made tons of babies. Well today, two of those babies turned into bright shiny adults! It's very exciting after a year long wait.
