Chinese mantid eggcase care

[daen]

Hello to everyone.

I'm a French/Italian chameleon hobbyist living in Beijing, China.

This summer i kept a dozen of mantis and they laid me in total 12 oothecas.

I was wondering if this species eggs needed a diapose or if i could just incubate it straight at 25°C in a humid/ventilated environment?

I was thinking about keeping some outdoor for next summer and hatching the other half in the upcoming months.

I will attach some pictures, if some of you know the species name and incubation lengh, please let me know.

Thanks for your precious help!

Cordially,

Adrien.

if some like chameleons, here are some of my animals for a look:

Welcome to the forum!

Diapause is not required for T. sinensis ooths, but they can be refrigerated *if* you want to delay or stagger the hatching of your ooths.

The common name is the Chinese mantis. They don't need to be incubated.

Thanks for the help.

Can I refrigirate them in the fridge or it has to be a graduate cold?

Neat forum by the way, nice look and promp replies!

Fridge works fine. I bought some that way and the hatch rate was good.
