Yeah, I had colony about 2 years ago that I traded for my female pastel I have now. I started with 1 male 2 females and 20 assorted nymphs, that I purchased at a show for $20 and when I traded about 10 months later I had close to 35 females and probably 10 males and an ungodly amount of nymphs. And right now I have 1.5 adults and 30-40 assorted sized nymphs probably 1/3 of them a molt away from being adults. So, within a year I should be producing around 6000 a month maybe more.
