Last night I was admiring my pets when I noticed that my female hisser ,New Glory, had something sticking out of the end of her body. It was long and was pale yellow. I did reasearch and fpound out that it was an egg sack. But when I woke up in the morning it was gone and my hisser was still in the same spot, just turned around. I am begging anyone who knows what could have happened to the egg-sack. I dont see any newly hatched babys around and she is my only hisser. Her Mate died just last week. What has happened?

Save a tree, eat a beaver!

I have: 1-house gecko (Salad)

2-green anoles (Green)

2-leopard geckos (Orlo, Naginie)

1-Yellow bellied slider (Ted)

1-african side necked turtle (Ed)

1- oriental fire-bellied toad (floyd)

I apologize to say but you hissing roach ate its own egg sack. Ussually with pet bugs if you disturb them when or after they made an egg sac they will eat it. But you should keep trying to breed them!

were did you get your roach anyway? Ihave done a lot of reasearch and i want one.

If you really want to breed hissing cockroaches just get 3 or 4 of them and I guarantee you will have more babies than you know what to do with within 1 to 3 months. keep a close eye on them though, the babies are very small and can fit just about anywhere.

Unless you saw the egg sac broken off from her abdomen, she probably just retracted it.  I breed Hissers and my females will sometimes show their eggsacs, but they can pull them back inside.  I'm not sure why, I think it has something to do with temperature.  I doubt that she ate it.

Instead of making ootheca (like an eggcase of sorts) hissing cockroaches give live birth. The females form the ootheca internally. When the eggs mature, the nymph exits the female through the genital opening. This doesn't happen all at once, but gradually. For one ootheca, a total of 20 to 50 nymphs per female are produced. Occasionally, a yellowish ootheca can be seen being ejected from the female. This is thought to be an aborted ootheca that was not viable for some reason.

be humble,and don't stumble this applies to those who like to only use sientific names to thier herps to impress newbies
