[QUOTE="joossa, post: 50726, member: 648"] Yes, I hatched ooths of the species some years ago for a friend. I did it twice, each instance around October. I was told to place them in the fridge for at least three weeks, in order to get good hatch rates. I ended up keeping them inside the fridge for about a month and a half. In the end both ooths hatched out plentiful nymphs. I guess incubation time depends on what temperatures you provide for the ooth combine with how long you kept the ooth in cold storage. IMO, it is imperative to mimic the conditions an ooth would experience in the wild. This goes for temperatures, humidity, photoperiod, etc. Of course I have never tested all these factors myself to any significant extent, but if you can mimic nature, why not do it? Orin can you elaborate a bit? Have you had an ooth completely dry out in the fridge? How do you keep them once placed inside? Do you provide moisture? [/QUOTE]
