Texas Unicorns hatched

[vyadha]

Peeked in the incubator and saw that one of the ooths hatched!

According to the caresheet, this species can be housed together for awhile. Any experience with that? Putting them in a group enclosure now but will change if necessary. Pics soon.

Mine were ok together until L4 then is was all out buffet.

Congratulations on the hatch! If you get too many, I’d take a few...

I’d say keep them communally and well fed for the first few instars then separate.

Any idea when these should start molting? I’m guessing any day now. They are eating and no die offs!

 

[MantisGirl13]

Should be soon!

I love that they're all thriving. My orchids are too, with no die offs. But, if they all molt remains to be seen, hey?

 

[vyadha]

Should be soon!

Do you know how many you’d like? And what instar? I’m waiting til L3 most likely but with your experience it’s up to you

Sort of unrelated but how did you breed the adults? What type of setup did you use and how many adults did you have?
