Hatching Times.

[Mime454]

How long does it take for heteropteryx dilatata eggs to hatch? Some sites say several months, while others say several weeks. If anyone has a solid answer, that'd be great.

I'm asking this for purely academic purposes.

Please do not buy these. You could get in lots of trouble. If you already have than destroy the ova. Please don't give this forum a bad name.

So I have a project for Biology to compare a US herbivore insect species to an exotic one. I have to find the local one. Walking sticks are easy to find. I have to present research on the exotic. I'm finding conflicting info, and I was wondering if anyone internationally had experience with these.

I put the last sentence so it wouldn't get deleted for my being American. I'm not going to lie, I want them bad, but you guys have convinced me not to buy them.

Wait... You were assigned to get exotic sticks? Or is it like a science project?

I have to plcatch and show to the class a native stick. I have to research and present facts about an exotic one.

Oh. So you're not required to get jungle nymphs. You just have to talk about them

Yes. I don't think that they would require me to break the law. Lol

That would be an interesting class haha

Dilitata hatch faster in warmer temps from what Ive seen. Incubation time varies but like many say actually keeping them isnt worth the risks or a black mark to the hobby that already rides the unregulated lines of the laws. They also have very short life spans.

Heheh today children we will be taking illegal narcotics and testing there effects...

In my advanced bio class we tested the effects of several illegal drugs on rats. No joke. I got to test ecstasy on my rat. I felt pretty bad for it, but it certainly wasn't the worst one.

THEY LET YOU DO THAT??? That's so cruel!!!

It is a common practice in most biological schools and labs.

Lucky rat. :wub:

 

[Paradoxica]

What were the effects on the rat? (other than the giant rat orgy)

We had 2 male rats, so no orgy happened. They were nicer to us and seemed to like each other more. They reacted faster to stimuli, and did better in the quintessential cheese in the center of a maze test.

we used very low doses, but it just seemed to make them better rats. lol

 

[Paradoxica]

Ha, sounds about right.
