man chill out and dont get worried man its not like its the end of the world or anything you need to either take some medication to calm yourself down and quit being so emmotional over this or get out of the hobby if your going to go all bent out of shape over stuff that you can never have control over!
Are you going to post if your mantis blows her nose too or something else and need to like not worry so much and post when every kind of problem arises as its ok for a while but after a while it gets monotonous and you need to problem solve sometimes without using a forum and try it sometime and you may like it!
By the way Agent A all Mantids are different some take 1 week some take a month to lay an ooth..I figure theres nothing you can do she will lay it when she is ready just make sure food is availabe and your good..I dont think humidty has a whole lot to do with a mantid laying an ooth thats when your incubating the ooth humidty is important..Good luck let us know when she has one =]
dont look dead but looks like it dont know where its going or how it got there!
yeah from the first ooth laid can take 2 or more weeks and sometimes less for the next one to be laid and I can use my own list as a example of this!
Creobroter Gemmatus (my own female)
first ooth - 9/13/09
Second ooth - 9/22/09
so it can take little over a week and sometimes 2 or more weeks and there is a species that takes 5 months to hatch from a ooth and doubt you could stand that kind of pressure waiting for that to hatch from something like that but every species has their own timetable on when they can and will lay a ooth and you can influence the environment but you can not get the mantis to lay one faster then she is capable of doing!

Agent, i thought you had like 3-5 years experience? Shouldn't you know they don't lay immediately? Plus your like one of the best creobroter breeders right?
dont know but do know that I have not had that much experience but doing a darn good job with breeding my own creobroter species and my other ones and have not had any mishaps so to speak but alot of slow responses from the males and few of them were little too eager but yet got all my mantis's to do their jobs without posting every time there is a problem!
she layed an ooth! here are pics!
