You could do an eye spy theme for the barks! :) I wish I had you as a teacher, super cool! :)

I have multiple L4-5 nymphs....some may be L4 others L5....it is difficult to tell bc of their relative same size so I will use my best judgement. Also sexes are hard to determine, but I will use my best judgement regarding this also. :) I'm asking $11for each and limit of 4 nymphs per...

Yeah, the other andrew (branciskia) said his hatched after like 4-5 months...

I would just leave him be. Make sure she is well fed when you leave them alone though. But you can gently blow on him the next time he mounts to encourage him to mate...touching him just freaks the males out sometimes bc they think its the female trying to get them... All the best, Andrew

Hey Sally this is a great thread! Keep it up! :D P.S. I have four h coronatus ooths from two females that were mated multiple times...however I'm starting to give up on them as its been 4+ months since their lay date.... I don't kno what I did wrong, howd u incubate them? And ill send you a...

Some species will tolerate multiple queen colonies and form 'super colonies' with a bunch of satellite colonies branching off, but other species will only allow one queen per colony...they will kill each other if kept together....what species is the one you collected?

Yeah you can just leave it how it is bc she won't reproduce through parthnogensis...

She will most likely recover from those injuries, however she is just full! :) there os a point where mantises get full and stop eating for a little bit. She most likely will lay her ootheca soon given the right enclosure. It sounds like a suitible enclosure right now, but add some sticks for...

Elliot is a great guy to deal with! Received the mantis quickly and EXCELLENT packing job...great communication and despite being kinda new to the hobby, his Tarantula background goes hand-in-hand ;) I was very happy with our transaction and won't think twice about dealing with again! :D...

Abt two-three weeks...first they will pupate and then after that, they will emerge as those giant moths :)

What species is she? And not almost always, just always infertile if never mated. Unless it is a species that reproduces parthnogenically.A few parthnogenically reproducing species are Brunneria borealis, Orthoderella ornata, and Theopropus elegans. All the best, Andrew

Yeah, if its infertile than just leave it... but if it is fertile. .. 1. Remove the stick and trim the ends of the stick so you are only left with ooth on stick (help keep it smaller and easier to handle) 2. A 32oz deli with fabric lid would be suitable...add some raffia or excelsior to it...

Nice shot! :) the antennae look like long hair going down the back of its neck :P

Just put the "guts" (where she last left the grasshopper) up to her mouth and she'll resume eating...

Nice! :clap: Congrats! ...looks like Popa spurca hatching the way a 'lid' sort of pops off the ooth and the nymphs flood :) How many hatched?
