Hi

I will start selling when the weather becomes warmer. Maybe I will be able send to Uk also.

Best regards,

PS: There are 12-35 larva in one ootheca in gerneral.

PSS: In older literature they are named gongyloides, but nowadays the common name is gongylodes, without the "i". Maybe this will make it easier for you to search them.

PSSS: Molted 5 times means they are L6 now, not L7. They hatch out as L1, inside the ootheca they are called "Praelarva". They DO NOt hatch as L2, this is common but WRONG.

You are jumping to assumptions that I bought them as L1?

So please try to ask the questions before accusation or otherwise.

He is just informing you and giving information, he is not accusing or blaming you for anything. Be a little more polite please!

Sorry, I thought this is a question. I thought it because of the question-mark.

And unfortuanetely it is a common mistake that people call freshly hatched larva L2.

You are jumping to assumptions that I bought them as L1?

Yes, I did. Well, it seems that you did not make your sentence.

Or I'm a little stupid - don't know.

If I would like to do an accusation to you, I would write that only worsest breeders of Gongylus would ship them in winter-month. But I'm sure you have the ability to make sure they have 40°C while shipping ;-)

Nicest regards,

i am willing to take that risk is the ooth is fertile.

Well, I have none for you, sorry. But this is no problem: If the ooth is about 3 weeks old, you can shine through it with a good lamp (40W is enough). You can distinguish unfertiled eggs from the fertiled one and can see and count how many larva will hatch exactly.

Hi

Well, in general you cannot tell. But it is very easy with Gongylus ( and Christian is able to detect fertile Deroplaty lobata ooth).
