Need advice on Female Madagascan Hisser Pregnancy

[Denbert]

I'm currently new in keeping Madagascan Hissers and I have no idea as to how long a female hisser carries the baby. For now, I have a pair of hissers which I'm looking forward to multiply asap. hehe. And also, how would I know if the female is pregnant? Thanks!

How long varies depending on the conditions the roaches are being kept at. Ideal temps, humidity and foods will result in a shorter gestation period. If you have an adult female and she was kept in some sort colony before you got her odds are very good that she's gravid. Just keep an eye on her and if she keeps getting bigger and bigger even without a lot of food then odds are she's gravid.
