Ok let us know if the humidity increase helps at all.

Do you know how many ooths this species will lay?
I put her in my Exo-Terra over night at 80% humidity and woke to find a nice big ooth. :)

No idea on how many ooths they lay but I believe there are a lot of nymph in each. Probably 100 or more.

Congrats on the ootheca. :)

I just let my second H.multispina pair mate last night. I saw the female calling for the first time yesterday, and then I fed her a roach and let the male have at her. It was kind of nerve wracking because she didn't look fat enough to me, but my multispinas don't seem to eat as much as the other species that I keep.

I kept checking on them, and was surprised that his head was still on straight, every time I checked. :lol:

I tried to feed her again before I retired, but she wasn't interested so I put them(connected) in a large container and went to bed. I used to let them have the room, but I am tired of searching for males, there are too many hiding places in my home. :rolleyes: They were disconnected and he was fine this morning, and she accepted another roach. :D
