my pseudocreobotra wahlbergii aka Mark Wahlberg died of old age today. he was a sweet dude. I feel bad I couldn't find a female for him =(

It's actually quite common for people to do this...You monster!

Patrickfraser, did you ever keep your females you thought weren't mated around long enough for them to lay ooths? And if so, did you incubate them? This species typically connects for only 5 hours or so. I tried to mate one of my females a few months ago and never witnessed a connection. She ate the male that same day. I assumed they hadn't mated. But they did as I was shocked when her ooth hatched. I shipped her to a friend before I found out she was fertile. Sometime after that, I had another surprise wahlbergii ooth hatch. The ooth was attached to the bottom of a dark brown branch, and it was from that same female. I hadn't even noticed that she had laid a second ooth.I got excited for a minute, but then was saddened to see a walberghii was the deceased. My females died the same, as I couldn't get them any males after mine got chomped (without mating ). One day I'll get some more.
