Don't know where they got 'em.......I was pretty down in the dumps after Jezebel died, so when they brought those things home to lift my spirits, I appreciated the sentiment more than I was concerned about where they were purchased, LOL!!!

You should consider a pet roach......uhhh.....colony.....
Seriously fun!!!! Especially if you get a harder-to-breed species like these Hybrids.......temps have to be regularly above 85 to get them to breed, and they only have about 10-20 babies at a time. Until you get a sizable amount of breeding adults and nymphs going, the babies will not have enough frass to go around. Basically, you're guaranteed to lose about half or more of each brood from each female you have for a while if you're starting from only a few breeding pairs.

Some More T Pics

Here's possibly the BEST photo of Lilith yet!!!!!!!

Se7en taking a drink........Face-first, and Ker-Plunk!!!!

Desirae finally showed herself postmolt.....though not as much of her as I would have liked to have seen......

 

[Teal]

Oooh.. so that is what an S. cal looks like! LOL

Lilith's feet are too cute

Yes...that is what an S. cal looks like......right before I tried to snag that mangled roach out of her enclosure.


I assume you meant Desirae's feet were cute, but Lilith has cute toes too, LOL!!!


Speaking of my Desi-girl.......she came out for a second tonight:

Not the best pic in the world, but I'm not complaining........just happy to see her all bright and new!!!!

 

[Teal]

Ooops, yeah.. names aren't my strong point most times (and I love the name Lilith LOL it was a nickname of mine for yeeeeears)

Desirae is gorgeous! Mannn I can't wait for mine to be that big!

 

[Redneck]

Great shot Steve.. I cant for my S. cals to get big like that.. Now I cant wait to get a P. cambridgei!! Desi is gorgeous!!

The Dark Ages 415 AD to 1400 AD

Nothing really significant was "Learned" {evolved} during this time.

We wanna Learn about what's in there!

HEY! Who turned out the Lights? They are Black, and my Scorps are Green

And I feel different colors :8o {sicky} - Jason

LOL.....the good thing about modest collections is that it's easier to remember all their names. I'm sure that you and Lil will get along just fine. Why don't you give her a big hug when you meet her??? ;P

Hopefully your P. cambridgei will be alot less spirited than mine......although it might not be as fun, LOL!!!

Great shot Steve.. I cant for my S. cals to get big like that.. Now I cant wait to get a P. cambridgei!! Desi is gorgeous!!

Thanks Tommy!!! If you knew what Lilith is like right now, I'm sure you'd rethink the S. cal size issue. I much preferred her about 1.5" ago, LOL!!!!

P. cambridgei is great!!! I didn't think they would be this striking.....the beauty of this species is so subtle, but right in your face at the same time!!!

That was a clever post Jason!!!! Way cool...... I must admit that up until now I had a hard time understanding your posting style. Do you always post in prose??? (I really liked your using the Reason for Edit box to stash away the last line of the post. )

Lilith is adorable!!!
And Desirae is looking good! Awesome shots. :clap:

Thanks!!!! Lil is so fuzzy-cute you just want to snuggle her.....until you remember that she is an S. cal. Thank god for tank labels!!!!

Wasn't too hapy with that last shot of Desi......but patience pays out. Not too happy with this one either (with my C. fasciatum tank in the background, LOL), but it's leaps and bounds over the last one.

My wife says "Quips".....

People TEXT everyday, w/ abv. and such......It has been brought to my attn. that many AB members have a hard-time decyphering my posts - Figures.

I'd rather NOT be a "Ro-Bot" conversationalist

I am Not your everyday Cat

I wish that I was Savier w/ computers......Have been a technology rebel.
Going to school to learn now....Rather than "High"-school days

I greatly enjoy your posts and pics! Many other interesting creative people

Alright, alright, I know she isn't stuck or anything, but stare at this picture long enough and the only thing that runs through my mind:
"Guys... little help?"

Other than that, what a tease Glad she came out for you the second night!

Strangely-Colored Nymph I Found in my Dubia Colony:

As always: "Thanks for Viewing!!!"

 

[Teal]

Great shots! Sakura is beautiful

I have a few dubia that look like that, too.. strange!

 

[ZergFront]

Haha, Desirae's pic would make a good "Just Hang In There!" motivational pic.

 

[Mvskokee]

Sakura is stunning man.

Thanks!!! Beauty is an understatement.......you should see her in person!!!!

Wondering if maybe that nymph might be freshly molted, or maybe a discoid. What's weird is that I've found Hybrid nymphs in the dubia container, and dubia nymphs in my Hybrd colony. The only colony neither species have appeared in is my Lobstertail colony. However, I've found Lobs in both the dubia AND Hybrid colonies........:?

Awesome!!!

Sakura is stunning man.

Thanks!!! First time I laid eyes on her, she had me wrapped around her little palps!!!!

 

[Ariel]

Sakura is just gorgeous, so is Jasmine! Great shots, as always.

I think I recall reading somewhere that the lobsters are aggressive to other roaches.. I am not sure where this info came from, I do keep a colony of lobsters for feeders and i'm sure it was while doing research for them! That could be why??
Great Pics!!!

 

[Redneck]

Great shots Steve! I cant wait until Rio starts looking like Se7en.. And WOW!! Sakura is amazing! :drool: I cant wait until mine get to looking that gorgeous..
