I put these 2 in a large reptile cage for breeding.

They have been in there now 6 days and seem to be enjoying each other's company.

First, a pic of the cage I am using.

I put several cricks in the cage with them and gave the cricks plenty of food and gel water.

They have been realy enjoying themselves. No fighting, threats, nothing but sweet tender young love.

They will copulate for a long time, he will then disconnect and just stay attached to her for hours on end.

Then he will climb off her on his own and wonder about for a while, then hop back on her.

She has not once shown any sign of anything else but loving every minute of it!!!

As you can see, she doesnt miss a meal that may walk by while he is still attached.

I believe these 2 are in love!! :wub:

Here is the cage I use, plenty big enough:

And why do the fake leaves look like pot :lol:

Anyway wat is in the cage with the sticks? A popa???
LOL!! you are very observant ;)

My Brother saw them and asked me if I had pot leaves in there!!

You mean the sticks in the glass terrarium?

There is a male Hierodula m. living in that who will only eat BB's :rolleyes:

 
Does she ever eat lobster roaches? My oxy was eating one today and the meat of it is so succulent

Thinking of tryin a few when my colony grows...
