Stagmomantis Californica Ootheca

[kobelu3]

How long does it take for a stagmomantis californica's ooth take to hatch? I know it's cold in my area but I don't take it outside in the cold! I don't think it's supposed to take this long. It's still incubating for the last 8.7 weeks. Is that normal??

I'd give it more time to be sure. What temps are you keeping it at?

My Stagmo cali ooths are not hatching also. I didn't diapause the ooth but I am hoping it will just take longer for some reason. I did diapause a few more cali ooths. When I pull them out it will be interesting to see if those hatch. My females both mated multiple times so I don't know what is up with the undiapaused ooth.
