[Malakyoma]

Could always try feeding her honey to keep her strength up.

[hierodula]

not layed yet, will let you guys know when she lays

 

[hierodula]

sigh, still not laid she always wants to be at the ceiling, i dont think she likes the sticks i have placed for her...

 

[hierodula]

thats her enclosure, i spray it lightly twice a day and its about 80 degrees.

use fake vine with leaf things on it

i just got a really thick branch, and she seems happy with it, cause shes not trying to climb up all the time. @ Agent A, i figured those wouldn't be thick enough

 

[hierodula]

Victory! she is laying as we speak, saw her when she started! thanks to everyone that gave me advice!

Yeah! I'm glad you were able to find some thicker branches. Posting those photos when we were in the chat really helped. Congrats! I hope it's fertile.

thx! me too and thank you especially tammy for being patient with me! she was mated by two diff. males before this ooth, so it should be bursting with nymphs! the care for the ooths is the same as the adults right? one mist a day, 80F?

Wahlbergii ooth are very forgiving when it comes to incubation in my opinion. I've had a few surprise ooths hatch. Mine lay on oak branches that are not smooth, and these ooths darken more than others. I moved a branch in with an adult male Orchid and was surprised to find a bunch of little wahlbergii nymphs running all over one day. So was the male Orchid. I gave him a few drinks now and then, and I'm sure some droplets hit the branch.

Anyway, I've incubated mine anywhere from 75 - 85 degrees. I typically mist mine every other day.

 

[hierodula]

all right thx!

If it's dry where you are, you can mist inside the container where you incubate the ooth on the days when you don't directly spray the ooth. But I don't spray mine directly every day.
