if you go to petco you can buy about 40 or so pupae for a few bucks and the average lifespan of the adult soldier fly is about 8 days so and the time from larva to adult is about 3-4 weeks. take a knock at it if you wish

hi i wanted to know what the proper conditions are to keep an idolo ooth in, what the time table is for hatching and what the proper environment is for incubating the ooth? ANY suggestons would be great.

@sueb4653 - can you post the link where to get it?

whats the final product?

maybe your mailman or a neighbor acknowledges your intrest for keeping mantids and decided to leave a blue flash on your car :clown:

looking for a 3-5 idolo nymphs from L1-L6, if anyone has any please let me know thanks -zack

does anyone have any idolo nymphs for sale, i've been looking for a while and still can't get any. I would like to buy 1-3 so pm me please.

last question; what are the proper temperatures and environment the ooth should be put in (dormant/nondormant)?

do you have anything for packing ooths (coming from a noob)?

good cause i need to read up a little before your ooth hatches hoping it will soon :D

does this book refer to any of the more exotic species like I. Diabolica or G. Gongylodes cause that would be a little more useful- and does it have care sheets for most mantids?

so then what should i use to heat the tank during the night and winter

still looking for a few idolo nymphs if anyone has any for sale or any incubating ooths please pm me

just a thought but could you take a regular heating pad and lay a small towel folded over once and use that so its not directly on the bottom of the deli cup?

sorry about that im pretty new, i thought i could ask because we are talking about enclosures. Now i know :lol:

can anyone recommend a heat lamp i should get for my idolo's cause i really need one? :helpsmilie:

why are they so poisonous? this is the first i'm learning of this species.

does anyone sugest using a heating pad during the night or at all?

Thank you Rebecca, you where the one who started my collection about 2 years ago. Thank you for really getting me into this hobby -zack

i think you should find something a little smaller than that mesh thing for those nymphs cause it'll be a lot easier to feed them, you wont waste so much food and you will have a higher turnout of live mantids. just a sugestion, or you could do it for the next egg case.
