My mantids

well he had the ooths for about 1-2 month and god knows how long they've been in the wild for so they could hatch at anytime really

ill let you know when an ooth hatches.

Thanks for your constructive post superfreak. As Phil said, theres no information on google because not many people keep this species.And Phil, I got a pregnant female +3 ooths off someone who went to south africa on a trip and caught it in the wild. I don't think he'd scam me because he's got good feedback on the UK forum and is a pretty nice guy

How do you know she has been mated?

 

[beckyl92]

he found a couple in the wild and remated her just incase

Thanks for the entierly useless post resurrecting an ancient topic. "how long till my ooth hatches" is about as annoying as "when will my mantis molt" or "when will it die" . The answer is likely to be wait and see.

Sorry for jumping down your throat earlier - simply angered by what ive interpreted to be a complete lack of respect for the critters you keep. I hope i was wrong
