i agree with superfreak on the barks and woods, i can have a full net cage and if there is wood in it, thats where they will stand upside down on, i havent had alot of species though so im sure my input means nothing.

 

[superfreak]

your input means just as much as anyone elses

Says the woman down-under... :lol:

Doug, your input IS valued. Don't let the naysayers convince you otherwise.

[SIZE=14pt]I have found Chinese Ooth's faceing north, on old wood like decking, or old wood roofing, note they are old and now are rought so maybe it is a texture thing. :blink: [/SIZE]

hahahaha becky!

im down under, not upside sown

and by north-facing i meant wherever has the most overall amount of sun (or warmth, as some like to lay in sheltered spots.) during th day.

and you drive your cars on the wrong side of the road! even the WHEEL is on the wrong side! :lol:

Even your use of the word "down" is wrong! I suppose you're all left-handed too huh?

What does this have to do with eggbound females?

This is mostly grownups having fun, young Alex, but the part where Superfreak mentioned " by north-facing I meant wherever has the most overall amount of sun (or warmth, as some like to lay in sheltered spots.) during the day" was part of a very helpful post that she had made to help you with your egg-bound female problem. I trust that you took it to heart and are even now putting it into practice. Another thing that we gtownups often do if we ask a question and someone gives us a helpful answer is say "thank you."

Let us know if you have success.

Thanks. So my females have to be facing north? And also, I will record every bit of care my next pregnant female gets, maybe that will show us the problem.

Sounds like a plan, but Superfreak graces the Southern Hemisphere, so your females should be facing south, the source of maximum light and warmth.

not the females, the areas you have provided for them to lay on. and try putting some leaves in on one side of the cage to give her some shelter. gotta think like a mantis...it'd be quite horrible having to 'give birth' in a clear sided aquarium with giants staring in.

typo! TYPO! grr...

Haha! Yes, that's what I meant, in my confused way! It might be hard to train all the gravid females to point in the same direction!

No.

Well I'll try those things.

I should have a pregnant female in about 2 months.

Here is what I will do when I have a pregnant female. The bolded things are what I didn't do before.

Plenty of foliage in the container,daily misting,a few crickets everyday and any flies or bees I can catch, warm temperatures, and light exposure.
