Gongylus gongylodes

My 2nd attempt with this species. I had terrible luck with the males last time. <_< Got some ooths in from Gurd and the 1st of my two ooths hatched a handsome 29 nymphs.

Here's some pics:

Well, normally I'd say I'm jealous, but once again - I just don't have to feel this way anymore

Congrats on the hatching, AB.! Nice pics of a really cool species too. I love the one with the caption "Wheeeee!!" :lol: They sure are big for L1 nymphs! :huh:

Nice. Let me know if you are going to get rid of any.

 

[Kruszakus]

I'm actually there and doing it right now

 

[ABbuggin]

Nice. Let me know if you are going to get rid of any.

I want to keep 20-30 3rd-4th instars for myself. It all depends on how many hatch from the 2nd ooth. (should be about 15 or so) Lol @ Kruzakus. :lol:

Very cool.

It's not my fault that your name is hard to spell.

Sorry to hear. I will probably be selling some nymphs in the near future (as L3 or L4). I want at least 20-30, but I also dont want to be swamped. :lol:

My 2nd ooth should be hatching in 1-2 weeks. B)

Wow... :mellow:

I tossed in about a dozen of the HS, and there are only a few left. They like their flies. I actually have a strand of flying fruit flies going and they really love those.
