Phasmid photos

[spawn]

Is this a male or female dilatata? It's INTENSE -- it doesn't look anything like the big green one. I want one.

Thats the hyper evil male , my female (the green giant) is real docile for a jungle nymph, though she occasionly hisses while the male lashes out with his legs on site :?

Perhaps on my second generation i may have some ova for sale, though they hatch between 18 months and 3 years :lol:

Whys my post come above yours?!

 

[Sparky]

can they bite? They kinda have mean lookin jaws.

 

[Asa]

The reason I don't keep these is because they look like they don't have heads, which just creeps me out.

I remember one of these a looonnngggg time ago. My dad won us a trip to Australia and I thought these things were harmless so what do I do? I picked one up and it sprayed some white thing into my eyes and it hurted really really really really badly :x made me cry but for some reason it smelled kinda good, like roses, but I don't remember. This happened when I was 9.

These have been farely placid and slow, except one of the younger ones, he goes mental when u blow on him :lol:

Got some more photos for ya

The Trachyaretaon brookneri have grown up a bit now, still got a lot touch wood!, plus they`ve adopted an amazing mossy colouration

Finally took both Aretaon asperrimus females out for a couple photos, also i brought 5 or 6 small nymphs from a pet shop a while ago, im hoful these will give me a good chance at breeding these again, but i havent seen them much since i put them in thier tank
