[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 157431, member: 2509"] And on a more serious note, this is what I do, too. It means that you can have a nice moist substrate without much danger of the nymphs drowning and helps keep them separated, reducing stress. I plan on hatching future ooths in a fairly humid environment -- it seems that ooths so treated yield more nymphs -- and I shall glue them to a tongue blade which I shall place over a lidless deli cup with some good old excelsior in it. I'll keep all of the pots in a net cage with a dedicated humidifier*. Much better than giving the pot a squirt or two or three, once or twice a day or once or twice a week. That method is about as effective as saying "gesundheit" to each pot once a day. Some of the ooths will actually hatch! *Except for desert species, of course. [/QUOTE]
