@Kymura - actually, it's not "proven" (just a theory) but I believe males grow quicker than females. I think it has something to do with them needing to hit maturity a lot quicker....
@owax They are very fast growers & aggressive eaters! Just power feed them! They'll be huge in no time! I'm fixing to breed my female with my mature male.
Man Casey, I got my little one same time as my vagan, LP and a few others, that one (Nchrom.)and the A hentzi just literally arent growing at all, they are active, and they eat, each has molted, they're just enjoying being babies I guess lol ^*^ No matter, they're mine and I'll keep them regardless of size
@Casey K. That's good to hear. I like big eaters, and I just got a fresh order of superworms in to use as feeders while my roach colony gets on its feet. Good luck with the breeding.
Just curious...how long do you have to wait for a female to produce an egg sac?
@owax thank you! I'm not sure. I need to research gestational period on chromatus. I also have P. mett, P. ornata, P. fasciata, P. murinus, M. balfouri, C. cyaneopubescens, P. muticus, C. darlingi & H. incei (olive) going right now! Lol...
I had a deep brain aneurism a couple years ago, It did a good bit of damage Ended up having 3 brain surgeries in 4 days, now I can't regulate temp very well, I've been cold ever since it happened, Sooooo,
my T's are in my bedroom and I keep a space heater set on 74 in there, everyone else has grown by leaps and bounds, those two are just slow I guess ^*^
