Well, if they are laying the oothecae (egg bags) on the ground, then they are most likely B. Fusca indeed. Very very impressive roach and a huge congrats to you on your new acquisition. I am planning on starting up a colony of them this spring or summer as they seem really interesting and I really want them in my collection for a display roach. Who'd of thought I actually wanted to display roaches?!?!?! :lol:
Keep them setup about the same as Dubia, but maybe a bit more humid if you can. This will help the hatching rates of the oothecae laid on the ground. Some of them will not hatch and some will get eaten. Don't worry too much about this, it is quite natural and plenty of them will still hatch so your new colony will grow in size. Do not try and seperate the oothecae out into a special container, as more often than not you will damage them when handling them and they won't hatch. I have tried that approach with a couple of species and had worse hatch rates than when I just left them where they were laid. It will probably take between 1-2 months before the oothecae hatch after they are laid, so don't expect babies next week.
That species breeds a bit slower than Dubia, and I would imagine with their size, take a month or two more to mature, but that is speculation on my part there. And if I remember correctly, they are a bit more picky about the food they eat compared to Dubia, so you may have to experiment with different food sources to find something they like.
Again, a big congrats on your new gems. They are very impressive in size and coloration both! Hope your GF likes them as much as you do! heh
