    Orchid timing

    Thanks everybody - that's good news! I might move the female to an outside screen cage in the shade where she can get the local 91d/78n temps.

    Mature male won't mate

    I have a shy male Creo that does a great frozen deer-in-the-headlights when the female sees him. The females are totally willing, calling like crazy, practically backing up under him, but he won't do it. I had a female get mad at him the other day and after trying to entice him in every way...

    This was not planned...

    For whatever reason, that has been my plan all along: breed the females to different males every 2-3 ooths. The female Creo that laid the 1st ooth for me just laid her 3rd ooth Saturday, and I mated her with a different male last night.

    wax worms.

    I tried waxworms back in my chameleon days but after many escapes and such, gave up on them. The moths might work but they have to be moving to attract attention. The worms themselves would have to be handfed as I don't think they would attract an mantis. I recently for some Phoenix Worms to...

    Exo-Terra nano.

    Tammy - my female is still sub-adult (and a blimp :) ) so it will be a while before I move her in there. I have 2 new Exo's: Nano and 12x12x18, and 1 ZooMed 12x12x12. I have a Creo pictipennis female in the ZooMed laying ooths and might move in the other gravid females. Are there any reasons...
