Well the wasps are gone and woke up too this treat wanted to share with everyone

[Island Reptiles]

the species I found out is Alalomantis Muta from cameroon.

Yay, I am glad they hatched for you.

 

[Island Reptiles]

yes to many to count at this point. but these will be nice for reptile expos to give to the kids.

 

[Paradoxica]

Awesome

Wow, you've got a barrel of nymphs there! How exciting.

 

[ladygigi]

Wow! :tt1: To have been able to watch them hatch must've been really neat and exciting! How awesome that you happen to be home and not sleeping or gone etc. That is a treat! I'm so glad that I didn't start with something like that because I got started in this on accident and if I'd had a species that gave me a couple hundred babies like that I think I'd be in a nut house right about now! :clown: Congrats! :clap:

lol this is my 1st time hatching out an ooth oh what fun I had trying to separate they a bit

I was chasing nymphs all over but now they are in 7 different cups and going to spread them out more when I give them food later today

it was really cool when I checked on them only 3 nymphs came out by the time I got my camera 5-6 came out then 10 mins later hundreds

they are really cool im sure ill enjoy them till we start moving them in july

I can't imagine trying to separate so many curious and tiny babies! If I ever get to this point, I will be doing transfers in an empty, plugged bathtub! How did you manage to keep them all contained? (Or are there the inevitable few losses? I just got a flash of card dealer dealing out nymphs: "one for this cup, one for that cup, and one for the house!")

 

[Island Reptiles]

basically scrambled to keep grabbing the nymphs lucky they ran right on to the tweezers I was using.

was planning on splitting them into two cups but that didnt work out too well lol have 5 cups with like 10 nymphs each those

were the ones that kept trying to run away then two main cups with alot in each.

think it was their curiosity that helped me also between them running up the tweezers and hanging out on my hand not something I want to do again lol

im not at all familiar with this species and have yet to find a care sheet would like to find out if I can keep communal or do I need to separate them all into their own cups

What a pretty orange color!

How are they doing now?
