Oh how I want it to hatch!!!

[ZoeRipper]

I'm getting extremely antsy about my S carolina ooth hatching, it should happen within the next two weeks if I'm not mistaken.

AND. I. WANT. IT. TO. HAAAAAAATCH!!!!

SO BADDD!

I check on it like every twenty minutes, and it hasn't changed a bit.

Oh how I wish there was some magical trick I could do to make it hatch!!!

Does anyone else get all excited about the hatchings?

Or is it a newbie thing?

Yep, Zoe, it's a newbie thing. When you become as experienced as the rest of us, you'll find that you can often go for 45 minutes without checking!

 

[ZoeRipper]

Oh Phil, you make me LOL.

I think I may have gone 30 mins without checking!

I'm makin' progress!

Although I will go about 7-8 hours, as I'm gonna sleep as much as I can before the evil ones get up for school tomorrow.

And I'll also reply to your email when I get up!

It will never hatch if you keep looking at it. I only check mine once or twice a day.

haha i was the same with my first ooth. when it hatched you should of seen me. i was running around to house shouting 'ITS HATCHED!' my mum was like, 'i don't care.' she loves them really

now when a ooth hatches im happy but i don't get anywhere near as excited as i use to.

i had a miomantis ooth hatch this morning actually

70 nymphs!

 

[ismart]

I still get excited when an ooth hatches. Just knowing all my hard work has finally paid off!

 

[revmdn]

It is a great moment to see it "rain" nymphs for the first time. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy :wub:

 

[hibiscusmile]

haha, 30 minutes, u really wait that long! I find that mine hatch at 10:30 am or a little before or 8:30 pm, rarely ever do they hatch at other times..... I look three times a day though anyways!

 

[Katnapper]

Best of luck on your waiting, Zoe! :lol: Yes, it's a newbie thing (the frustration waiting and checking)... although the excitement never wanes when you see those babies hatching, or discover they've hatched (and you missed the actual hatching).

 

[hibiscusmile]

I much rather they hatch without me, I think I am a midwife and always want to help and usually just get in the way!

Didn't someone do that with a ghost ooth not to long ago and had the live stream link on here?

Yeah, that was Jacksun in Coldest Canada. I think that the ooth came from some gifted master breeder or other.

 

[MantidLord]

I feel the same way. I can't wait for my ooths to hatch. But sadly, I have to wait a couple of more months until spring (M. religiosa and I. oratoria). I feel mantidless and complete...

 

[ZoeRipper]

IT STILL HASN'T HAAAATCHEDDDDDDD!

 

[Katnapper]

IT STILL HASN'T HAAAATCHEDDDDDDD!

:lol: Try to think of something else....

 

[ismart]

IT STILL HASN'T HAAAATCHEDDDDDDD!

Your just not staring at it hard enough! :lol: It will hatch after you have given up!

 

[mantidsaresweet]

My S. carolina ooth hasn't hatched yet either and it was laid on Oct 4th or 5th.

 

[Katnapper]

If it makes you feel better.... I also have one that was laid Oct. 24th that hasn't hatched yet. (Laid from wild caught female in Oct.).
