Oh So Frustrating

[sinensispsyched]

My m. religiosa hatched out 3 nymphs. One never fully formed and died at the bottom of the cup. The other had never gotten his legs out of the egg membrane, and was fed off. The other one is just fine.

However, I'm wondering if their ooth will explode over the next few days, or if this is all I'm getting.

Maybe up the humidity? Worth a try.

As Patrick stated increase the humidity. They don't always hatch out at once. It may take a few days for the ooth to fully hatch.

OK, I mist it every day, and I have it on both a crappy UTC, and some heat from a heat lamp. Oh, I can't wait to see what I'll find tomorrow!

Maybe remove the heat lamp. With my room conditions I never use any king of external heat source. Room is kept in the 70's and the warmth is helped by a warm mist humidifier. I also have my chams in the same room and they get heavily misted several times a day, so that also helps with my humidity. Winter brings with it cold and the home heating zaps a lot of humidity.

I have the lamp for my bleph ooth, I was just giving the cup more humidity.

My religiosa ooth hatched over the course of a few weeks, similar to what was described here.

Yes, remove the heat lamp. You need high humidity. Not heat.
