New Hisser Stock!
Posted On 11/25/2007 21:48:19 by RoachGirlRen
Today was the New York Metro Reptile Expo. I had a great day as always; it was a big supply-purchase day as I'm revamping 55g, 30g, and 20g vivariums. I got some great deals on cork bark, feeders, etc. but more importantly, got nine new hissers for breeding stock! I got mostly black morphs as well as some very dark hissers with lighter banding. However, the real gems were a beautiful chocolate brown colored male, and a very young female who unlike most hissers I've ever seen has cream colored legs and underbelly. I've decided to add these nine new guys to my Chong, Thor, two black morphs and one "ginger" colored female to make a 14 roach "awesome colors" breeding colony. One of my black morphs looks about ready to pop, as does Chong (who was bred to Thor). I'm really hoping to see nymphs soon, as my guys haven't really been breeding well for me. It's funny, my females that aren't being bred have been pumping out oothecas, and the ones I'm deliberately trying to breed are being stubborn on me.
Anyways here's the cool "chocolate" hisser. The legs, eyes, everything is brown. There is no black on this animal. This is not just pre/post molt; it molted at noon today, shortly after purchased, and is alll hardened up and still this color.
Interesting hisser color morph.
