Ooth on top of the ooth

[Jaywo]

Hi all,

Just wondering if I can save the ooth underneath the top ooth. My female decided to lay a week apart on top of her old one.

You should be able to. Make sure they are fully dried and try to pry them (carefully) apart. Some tools may help.

Oh dear! That is funny. You should be able to separate them pretty easily once they are completely dried.

Thanks all, I'll give it a shot in two days time.

lol Didn't she see that there was an ooth already?? I hope you can separate the ooths.

Thats hilarious! Oh man..

She was staring at it but then said "whatever" and did it anyway. lol

an update: I was able to get the new one off and put them in a special ooth area. She is a ooth laying machine. She is on her 9th ooth and still going strong. I'll have to mate her again this week just to make sure her ooths are fertilized.

hahahaah?

9 ooths, that is a lot. I hope all the ooths will give you a lot new mantis babies

Nice! I am glad you got them separated! I had a ghost female who laid nine ooths but was eaten by her mate a few days ago. She would have laid more.

Yeah, it was hard, but I still have plenty of her offspring, and her sister is still laying!
