Thanks guys!
Now that I think about it I'm going to be in trouble if I start hatching ooths all over the place haha. I currently have 24 mantids which take about an hour a day to feed and water.
I feed every day accept to "moltees" or overweight mantids.
I don't even know how these mantis will react as far as cannibalism when they hatch.
This will be an interesting learning experience. I will likely put subsequent ooths for sale and low prices after this first hatch. I already promised somebody on here one also.
Start a new job a week after Monday so will have to adjust my mantis care practices accordingly.

Felt the ooth to see if it was dry and it felt like it.
Ooth popped right off the plastic by lifting the corner of the foam of the ooth with an old Red Devil box razor blade. (anyone remember those!?) I barely had to touch it and it popped right off no problem.
Here's the female doing her arm pumping thing and taking a honey break since she missed out last time everyone got some honey.
