Budwing Hatch!

[Samzo]

Hey guys,

Woke up this morning to come accross 50+ mantis hatching out my incubated ooth! It only took 3 weeks in my bearded dragon container aswell, I hope as the day goes on I receive a lot more of these lil guys.. in fact they are almost bigger than a spiny flower L3 heh I tryed getting a picture but failed as my camera sucks, so I'll just show you the general enclosure that i'll keep them in before I seperate them. ( this was for my pink toe tarantula but I guess that's prosponed... )

 

[Ian]

Nice job sam Congrats...lets hope you can hatch many more!

Cheers,

Ian

 

[Samzo]

Thanks, hope my female still got the strength for another ooth

 

[Samzo]

My female can barely walk, oh well she will die soon but at least I got lots of her babies

 

[Ian]

aww, shame, like you say, at least you got a hatch

Cheers,

Ian

 

[Jwonni]

is it just age or is she injured/ill?

 

[Samzo]

Age, shes laid 2 ooths already

 

[Rick]

Nice! Love the enclosure too.

 

[Samzo]

Thanks Rick 8)

Congrate Samzo boy

There should be more Budwing hatching out from the ooth, it usually takes 2 days to hatch all. Misted them daily as they are always thirsty!

 

[Samzo]

Thanks I've been misting alot, can't wait for the rest to hatch.

(My dad calls me that, well Sammy Boy sometimes lol)

 

[Joe]

Great job! good luck raising them!

[Andrew]

Cant the FF's get out of the screen cage? :|

Thanks,

Andrew

 

[Samzo]

In my cage? Nope, it's quite fine. Also I use the bigger FFs

 

[Ian]

yeah..I think those cages are pretty finely meshed aren't they?

Cheers,

Ian

 

[Samzo]

Yeah, this isn't a flexarium ( as you can see ) and the mesh is stiff plastic and is quite fine, maybe if a FF managed to get out, i'll just send it back to his doom lol Oh btw the amount of mantis has raised by a quarter ( i dunno if that makes sence but meh ).

Woooo Hoooooo!!!!

Finally I hatched something. the ootheca I got from you samzo hatched just recently. took like 6-7 weeks. But here's some pics.

Cheers, Cameron.

P.S. Thank you for the good ooth. Will do bussiness with you again samzo! I'll have to leave a bit of feedback about this .

 

[Samzo]

Congrats Cam Took a bit long though :? Quite a lot of nymphs, they should continue hatching for another 2-3 days.

 

[ibanez_freak]

LoL,

Yeah, took ages, but only because at first I kept it in my room on a heat mat and the room was too cold at night so I left it in my gecko viv. Worked a treat :wink:

Cheers, Cameron.
