i just noticed 1 of the ooths have just hatched..not sure on final number yet as there still hatching..1 things for sure tho.now i have the room at 83f instead of 74f the ooth took 24 days to hatch..last time i had it at 74f and it took 28days..

Also i have 2 males and 1 female housed in a swettie jar for about 6 weeks now..and they get one fine..im going to try and house this ooth in a jar and not seprate them.im pretty sure they will get on fine..will soon find out..
