[QUOTE="yen_saw, post: 28538, member: 12"] Thanks Sheldon. I assumed the low temp must be pretty low (<15C). Here is what i can share from the moment (Thanks Christian!), and some info for anyone else interested in this species in the future. So far the appeared to be hardy being kept at 85F (day) and 80F (night) with daily misting. Zero casualty. Some have started to feed ferociously, eventhough they are just 6-10 hours after birth. Some even showing sign of "killing and not eating" habit, very disturbing. So anyone keeping nymph must have ample supply of food source. A total fruit fly massacre in the cage :shock: It wouldn't be too long before they turn into each other. Another observation was ootheca continue to hatch for the third day, another 30 nymphs found in the cage after i removed all out just yesterday. Will keep everyone update when possible. Hopefully more experience breeders can share their thought here as this is the species i hope to dsitribute in the future and experience from previous breeders are important to make this happen.
