Very cool. Nice looking species.

She looks good, did she just lay the ooth? It looks fresh. Strike that, just reread it!

Very cool, Shaik!

Best of luck with them!

LOL yeah guys it does look yummy. I'm just wondering whether it's fertile or not.

Does your ooth look the same as mine Becky? I'm not sure how long it takes for this species to hatch. This is the first time I'm keeping this species.

 

[hibiscusmile]

yea exactly alike, wonder if their fake? hahahahhahahahaha

That would be a hoot! But the person I got it from, doesn't make them!

 

[sufistic]

Yeah I know where you got the ooth from

 

[kamakiri]

Got 2 and they look the same. Well the one that I think is newer laid looks the same, like a butt end of a popcorn kernel that didn't fully expand. The other, presumably older one is much browner.

Like yours, I bet they only contain 20 ova or so...

 

[hibiscusmile]

It would be really neat if they all hatch for us, heres to hoping!

Well, I'm glad I guessed incorrectly...I have about 51 new hatchlings!

 

[sufistic]

That's just awesome! Congrats!
