I've had my pupae Blue Bottles for about four days, how much longer until I can expect flies? Thanks!

:lol: did you see this:...lure turkey vultures close enough to photograph.
Open a couple up.They've been in the pupae stage for about 5 days now, still nothing. Is there any obvious indication that they've died if they have? They don't smell bad, and I'm keeping the jar in my ball python's cage, which is at about 80-85 degrees.
That happens to me a lot. If you see maggots you should start seeing pupae soon. Mels will culture much faster than hydei. You have to find the balance of making cultures using them to ensure you always have flies.I have flies! The only problem is, they're a lot bigger than I expected =) lol. Even my largest mantis is terrified of them. Luckily I had only about 10 maggots pupate, so I'm not wasting too many. My aunt's turtle enjoyed the ones that hatched out. I still have about 300 maggots in the fridge, so I'm all set!I wasn't sure whether or not to make a new post, so I'll just ask here. I have my FF culture going now, with about 30 adults and literally hundreds of maggots. The only thing is, I see no pupae at all. I'm scared to feed off too many adults, because I don't want to run out. Does this happen to anyone else? Right now, they're at about 80 degrees. I have them sitting on top of my corn snake's tank, and they get radiation heat from the heat lamp. I tested the temperature with my temp gun. Thanks!
