G. grandidieri(tiger hissing cockroach)

[Herp13]

Yeah, i am starting frog breeding as a business, so i want to start breeding lobsters for feeder purposes, then the hisser collection will be for fun, and i can also sell them too

Can you keep the different types of hissers communially or will they interbreed?

 

[Herp13]

I wouldn't mix species, just so you know what your looking at

Im not sure if they can interbreed? I know Blaberus can, i wouldnt be suprised if hissers can as well, but i arent sure.

I keep all my species seperate.

Plus, if you ever wanted to sell them, you would have pure breeds rather than a G. portentosa x G. grandidieri x E. chopardi mix

check the old thread, there was a pretty good ruler pic posted by Johnny, and it is a lill bigger than 4inches (11cm), but could be a bit bigger if it's stretched or just after a meal

I thought it would be useful to post the picture for others to see, as a reference, after you had mentioned it.

Uh, i'm guessing these last pics are of P. venwerebeki? Anyways, very nice specimens. It appears that the males are actually bigger than the females, cool And venwerebeki's horns are much more developed than portentosa.

The last pics are Gromphadorhina obolongata (sometimes spelled "oblingata")

Oh, well, where can i get them?

 

[angus]

maybe i can help on the comparision pics.
the black one is P.v.(black form)..
from my personal specimens observation...
the 2nd and 3rd segements of a P.v. is broader than a G.p.
and the horn of P.v. were a bit higher than the G.p.
hope this can help~

Hissers

I have all the mentioned species, but most are spoken for. Hissers are the most collected of all the roach species and there are still a few more I'd like to get. There are many hobbiest in the US and I imagine these species will become more avaliable soon.

Actually he's just short of 4 inches... but could reach the 4" mark if stretched.
