Oxy ooths

[Mime454]

I have a presumably fertile female laying an ooth every other week or so. The ooths are about the size of a dime and about 3/7 of an inch tall. Is this small for this species?

How long do they normally take to hatch? How many normally hatch? Any special requirements beyond the norm?

 

[Precarious]

All normal. Hatched range between 20-60, averaging around 30. Incubation is around 45 days. No special requirements.

I thought that they were small because this species is so similar to the Taus and they're ooths are huge by comparison. Good to know.

I haven't had adult Tau yet but I would guess they lay less frequently and their ooths hatch larger numbers. Different survival strategy from the Oxys which lay more numerous smaller ooths with more frequency and lower yields.
