Hello!

I am attempting to rear the ooths produced by a wild caught adult female, who was caught while pregnant. The ooths appear fertile to me (though input on that would be appreciated).

They spent 2 months in the fridge and are now out at room temperature. My main concern is; how long should I wait before deciding they aren't going to hatch? I don't want to give up on them too early, but I've heard quite different reports on what the hatch time for these guys are (anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks).

They were removed from the fridge on December 30th and January 19th.
