Hymenopus Coronatus

[Mex_Ghost]

after they mated that time, they mated once more time the week after. Yesterday my female laid an ooth over the mesh , but now I would like to know if I leave the ooth there or try to put it apart, if try to put it apart... can I take the ooth out of the mesh?, or just cut the mesh?, do I keep the ooth as the mantid?? At night the temp could drop to 59°F, but I use an infrared lamp, yesterday I put it near the ooth but not that close to burn it.

If you can remove the ootheca without damaging it, by all means remove it from the mesh after it's hardened over a couple days. However, if you don't think you can get it off without damaging it it would be best to cut it out. You risk damaging the eggs if the ootheca was actually laid around the mesh.

I keep mine at 72 and above, I don'tchange temp at night, maybe I should, but don't and I let them dry an them remove them, it is all up to you.
