    And yes I agree, keeping these species together will slow down breeding. Hell I even seperate the nymphs from my adult hissers and dubia and they breed much faster this way.

    I do the same and it makes a huge difference when you have a large colony. It is better for the nymphs and the adults to do this.

    Do roaches need to have a heat ma or can they breed if the air temp is 32 degrees. My roach room is really warm at 32 degrees celcius and it would be more expensive to use more heat mats. I am going to breed the different species in different containers like you guys suggested.

    My hisses and lobsters have arrived. About 7 of the hisses are fully grown and the rest are nymphs and about 30 of the lobster roaches are fully grown and the rest are nymphs. How long should I be expecting to wait before babies? Also how do you sex Lobster roaches, Turkistan roaches and hissers? I presume with hissers it's that one sex has those horn things and the other sex doesn't correct?
