Cryptics Mating

[agent A]

This is kind of a random question, but how far down do the nymphs hang from the ooth when they hatch?

abt twice the ooths height

My first female layed her forth ooth yesterday. Thats about every 6 days!

I also mated my second female yesterday, I wasn't sure the male connected until I saw this a few minutes ago...

My flash went off while she was trying to wipe it off on the glass.

Congrats dude. I wish mine would hatch already. They may end up being duds. I was looking forward to them too.

Good luck with the ooths and congrats on the successful matings! Let me know if you have an extra ooth or spare nymphs you'd like to unload.

 

[Paradoxica]

Thanks. As long as my male was fertile I should have a TON of nymphs soon.

Mine never hatched either. Did your Bleph? At this point I would still incubate them but there is a good chance they won't hatch. I cut mine open and it was completely dried up and brown (dud).

My mendica haven't hatched yet either. I talked to niko and he said he's had some really long incubation periods for sybillas. Its been a month since I got them, so if they haven't hatched in a week or two they're duds too.

Put me on your list, Brian! Been wanting to try this species for some time.

 

[Paradoxica]

you got it

Right before I took my GF to work this morning I finally got to witness an ooth being laid...

This is #7 from this girl.

Once i got back home I saw what I've really been waiting for!

Before anyone asks, I was worried I would damage such a tiny ooth if I ripped it off the mesh so I just made a makeshift incubator around them.

Congratz dude! Keep me posted if you sell any.

 

[sally]

nice. lots and lots of mouths little mouths to feed

 

[Mime454]

Awesome!

 

[Malakyoma]

Congrats they're adorable

 

[agent A]

Well played

 

[Paradoxica]

A couple days ago I mated female #3, as I left for work I saw she started laying her first ooth. I just checked on her and she was just finishing her second ooth!?! I know the first one is a little small, but it still looks like a full ooth.

:clap: Congrats with all the success you have had with these guys Bri! Those make-shift incubators are a great idea!

Cheers,

I love sybillas! Their nymphal mortality is so low its not even funny!!

That's what it seems like, except for the couple that died at my stupid/clumsy hand :angel:
