A couple of weeks. I only have 4 left from the first ooth. I ordered 2 more, and one of them tried to hatch out but for some reason failed, so I only got a couple of nymphs out of it. :(

I've been at Arachnoboards for 4 years and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do this for real. Unfortunately I'm sure a lot of people are angry because they were in the middle of transactions and stuff. Oh well... I do think that this might get people to stop and think about what they post. In the...

Update: many have died as expected, the rest are eating well. No molts yet and it's been nearly two weeks, is this normal? :unsure:

These roaches can climb glass, so they'll be easier prey items when the time comes.

The babies should be molting within the next day or two, they're starting to turn dark. :) I've had minimal deaths and cannibalism so far.

We are an eclectic bunch with a wide range of interests. ;)

I didn't get to see any beetle shops or any of the stag/rhinoceros beetles at all while I was there. :( I just saw the little cages for them at dollar stores and stuff. Morwenna was a nickname given to me by a Welsh friend and it has many variations-Morgan le Fay, Megan, Morgana, etc. I...

Yeah that's what hibiscusmile said. It's okay, I'm doing this for the experience and if I need to, I can always get another ooth. :) Edit: 3 days and I haven't seen any cannibalism yet...hmmmm. :/

Okay. They are all back in their big enclosure with branches to climb on and a few fruit flies. Once I see some flies being eaten or cannibalization, I'll start to feed more flies.

Hi! I'm from Montana. I'm a college student studying Japanese language and culture. I studied in Japan for a year last year (there are tons of cool bugs there haha). I keep tarantulas and I have many pets including cats, a dog, budgies, and a horse. I recently got into the mantis hobby because...

Of course. :) I just use my hands to move them, they're very cooperative. I may order another ooth soon before they all start hatching out and can't be shipped. I was told to expect about half to die off within the first day but that hasn't happened yet. I'll feed them some more flies this...

It looks like the exoskeleton forming underneath before a molt didn't develop all the way and it abscessed, sorry for your loss. :(

I recently had an ooth hatch out and I got about 160 babies out of it. A few have died so far which is to be expected. I want to keep as many alive as possible because I will be giving some to friends to put in their gardens. I have a large fruit fly colony and I started a small roach colony to...
