[QUOTE="hysteresis, post: 338687, member: 11064"] My finding is that humidity of the ooth is most important. I kept mine humid and "hotter than warm", spraying it directly. Good ventilation but pretty humid. Id fill a terrarium with substrate, moisten it, and warm the whole thing like an incubator. 😛 I kept 1st instar nymphs humid and hot as the ooth. 2nd instar I stopped managing substrate for humidity, focusing always on internal hydration. Honestly, I think 85degF is fine. And the subadult molt people dread with super high humidity... this time I worried less about humidity and more on how much moist feed they took in. [B]Best molts to date![/B] I do keep the substrate humid at sub though, I just don't obsess on that. Finally, line your subadult enclosure top and sides because... it will need side support to negotiate its flip cleanly. It sees a high risk of falling at the flip without something good to grab onto at its side. [/QUOTE]
