More hatches. This is from the second ooth laid by a female. Her first ooth was laid on the 25th of February and hatched out on the 23rd of March. This ooth was laid on the 12th of March and hatched out today on the 7th of April. Both ooths took 26 days to hatch out.

Most of them have turned L2.

Yeah it's been 10 years since I was last active in this forum. No worries.

Hello Nathaniel. Apologies for the very late reply. Thanks for your tips. Yes my Helvia cardinalis pairs are siblings and they've been mated multiple times even before their first batch of ooths were laid. Doesn't seem that inbreeding is an issue for now. Take note that the original ooth they...

Three ooths have hatched. Help. These ooths come from mated siblings. Doesn't seem like inbreeding is an issue. At least not yet.

The first batch of ooths are starting to hatch. 

Need to clear excess oothecae that will be laid in 2-3 week's time. Selling or open to trades. Shipping from Southeast Asia.

Thanks. Most of my time spent in the hobby is in racking my brain to create proper enclosures really.

Yup that's right. This species has been a dream to keep. It's the perfect mix between H. coronatus in regards to its looks, and T. elegans in terms of size.

Yeah. As far as I know back then, we were the first to successfully rear a Toxodera bieri nymph for more than 6 months. Too bad we didn't have a pair. Also I've been busy breeding Homo sapiens of my own. No time for bugs.

Hello everyone. It's been 10 years since I left the hobby due to hectic family life. The pandemic gave me a chance to start again so I lept at the opportunity when I was able to acquire a H. cardinalis ooth. I've always dreamed of keeping this particular species after successfully breeding H...

Many more still available. Please PM if interested. Thanks.

As always, Phil said it best.

Just to add, I don't have the benefit of acquiring flying feeders here with the exception of fruit flies which I've bred myself (shops here only sell mealworms and crickets). I've successfully bred violins with B. lateralis roaches as their staple. They do hunt down the roaches but they...

I've kept them together right up to adulthood but their enclosure always had feeders in it. There were instances of aggressiveness towards each other but damage was minimal due to the fact that they were constantly well-fed. Keep them separate if you can't constantly put feeders in their...
