From a single female you'll get 10+ ooths each hatching 30-80 nymphs. I love this species and will continue to keep them in culture but I learned a hard lesson last time. I bred like 10 females and nobody wanted nymphs or ooths. The idea was to spread the species around but at times people here only want things if they're free. So I kept some for myself and traded the rest with other serious breeders.
Wow! That's a lot of females to breed! I've been wondering if I mated too many p. wahlbergii...all 5 of my females. I've been mating 1 - 3 females of other species.Well, I got my ooth from you and am happy that I did. I have sold some Oxy nymphs. I think it's catching on that they are a nice species and good for beginners. I never photographed the L1s when the ooth I had hatched. So, I'm going to this time around if I have the opportunity.

You should have no problem moving any p.wahlbergii ooths you get. I can't wait to see the nymphs!

My mated Oxy laid her first ooth a couple of nights ago. Super excited to see the L1s, we'll see what the demand for Oxys are as we start seeing nymphs flooding the US culture again this spring.
