This bad boy just matured in my colony. He's about 4" in total length, almost 2" wide, and his horns are over 1/4" long. I've never seen a male look like this. He's almost creepy!

I will be putting him in a separate colony with a few females to try to continue his bloodline. If anyone wants some of his babies, let me know :)

I named him Bison, by the way. The horns called for it ;)

Whoah, handsome guy! If you manage to get a line going of males like that, I'd definately be a buyer! I have some mondo females myself and would love suitable males to breed to them. Great lookin' male, congrats! :clap:

I have a huge female I could send you.

She's already mated, though.

Could you put the roach in a pair of vernier calipers or at least directly on a ruler in a photograph? (4" hisser reminds me of the famous 50ft. python that was 24ft when measured, the zookeepers were surprised the snake had shrunk so much).

You can tell from the photo he can't be over 3". What's so exciting about that?
(3" is a very nice hisser but not amazing)

TheEternal,

Any chance you can take a picture of that male on a ruler? Or maybe on a dollar bill? That would be cool to see.

Even if he's not over 3", those are some awesome looking horns! Way bigger than most of my hissers.
