Ootheca Incubation

[ajsmith141]

Greetings all,

In the last few years of hatching and rearing praying mantis nymphs, I have wondered if anyone has ever used something like a reptile incubator to hatch mantis oothecas? If so, is it a good method?

I have heard it works ok, I use a sealed aquarium sometimes.

Room temp for mine with summer hatches quicker than in the cooler months.
