[QUOTE="Mystymantis, post: 299267, member: 9416"] Hello, I have an adult female Carolina mantis that has only laid one egg case and that was a while ago. Is she egg bound? She is round and full of eggs, but just refuses to lay an egg case. She has several sticks in her cage. But another problem is today I just spotted 3 yellow eggs on the ground of her container, not in an egg case and no foamy stuff. So now I am really concerned for her health and why she would drop eggs with not making the ootheca? I have already tried several things to get her to lay, like making sure she is not near any other mantises, giving her sticks, feeding her well, but not over feeding her. Is there anything else I can do to maybe encourage her to lay? Or if she is egg bound will she never lay eggs? [/QUOTE]
