At the last reptile expo I was given a Chinese mantis ooth. The next day ( Feb 9 ) I wired the stick it was on to the vented lid of a 32 oz deli cup and put it on the shelf. I did absolutely nothing to it. No mist no jacking the heat up. Its between 69-73 in my apartment. I do have a humidifier going now since I lost a violin and a couple shields to molt issues. So it hasn't even been a month and I walked by the shelf yesterday and did a double take. I rubbed my eyes and focused and sure enuff there were a hundred plus 1/2 inch little kids running all over each other and hanging from the egg case. I certainly wasn't ready yet nor is it warm enuff to let them outside. I swear they may have been eating each other because by the time I put the cup in the mesh cage it seems there may be a hundred left. It was definitely one of the coolest things I've seen ; )
