This is a male i got as L4 from Sporeworld. He molted to adult hood on 9-19-11.

Congrats! Do you have a female to continue the journey?

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

Of course! i have 3 females and 3 males. He is ahead though, no one else is ready yet, they aren't even showing symptoms of molting, they all enjoyed blue bottle today.

THanks, I've never seen one so goldish, he was always darker than his siblings though.

Congratulations! My male Creos molted before the females.

Mine were all total pigs at sub-adult - feed them well and they will be adult in no time!

THanks, I've never seen one so goldish, he was always darker than his siblings though.

it's because he was born that way :clown:

my gemmatus did that as well

just feed the females up well :clover:

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

Hahaha he's greened out a bit but still goldish greenish. He has quite the appetite for an adult male.

 

[agent A]

male creobroter seem to eat a lot more than males of other species

@agent A - good because even tough it's healthy i dont like it when they dont eat.
