S.Lineola - First ooth

[Xeo]

Hi guys,

I bought an female adult S.Lineola a few weeks ago (August 18th), she was mated around August 11th at 3-4 weeks into adulthood. I've still not seen an ooth yet, she is huge and has looked like she has been ready to drop since I got her. Is this unusual? The ghost mantis I received at the same time is dropping ooths like crazy..

She will lay when she is ready. There is usually no set time to when they produce ooths after mating. The only thing you can do is keep her well fed, and wait. Hopefully she is not "eggbound"?

Thanks, I was worried she might be eggbound. I woke up this morning to a rather nice surprise!

:clap:

Cleaned up your doubles. I was getting same error this morning. Nice ooth!
