Pseudocreobotra ooths

[yen_saw]

Yeah some of my P. Ocellata i kept in a group starting to mate only a week after maturing into adult too. But not every male/female are willing to mate this early. If you disturb them during mating, alert female will walk away, she is just trying to stay away from you

I am keeping the ooth the same way as how i incubate their parents' ooth. 80-85F, 60%, mist every other day.

Lol, but I don't think so. She was walking toward me, off the thing she was non. She stopped though, when I bribed her with food. Man, the male is concentrating on mating, and not moving, while the female eats, cleans itself, walks around, and went to the bathroom!!! Are all females like that??? :blink:

Thanks. Do you get the ooth wet though?

Sounds normal to me. what's the worry? ANyway, every mantis has its own "character" so to speak. SOme are skittish and some are more agressive.
