Thanks mantidsaresweet.

Thanks Chase congrate on the G. grisea ooth hatching!! Lets hope my batch here has the same success too, but at least we know yours is :) so this species can continue in the hobby.

 
Well the ooth that has hatched so far is the (for lack of better words) "only child" of that mother. But all of them have mated and stayed connected as long so fingers still crossed!!

I'm trying to help get them out there too. I have a pair. I started with several but they have proven to not be an easy species when wild caught.
