Oh yea, Porcini cut her little rear ankle - right in the fold! Not sure how she did it but here is how she let me know: Its been a very slow healing process and I hope that it does not cause her so much discomfort that she abandons digging for her eggs. So far she seems to be trying but also...

Looks like I missed a window with both of my girls - they are both currently digging (how funny they are on the same schedule). I dont interact with them during this time but Porky spotted me during an evening check and wanted to come out for a few minutes. The new k boehmei are still...

Happy Birthday Ranjo and well done @Sonny13 !! Cheers to many more!

I started my WC in medium reptibreezes and then moved them to 24x15x36 glass vivs. I agree that the bigger you can go the better but 24x15x36 is a similar (maybe larger) square footage to cham size ration as 2x2x4 for a panther. I agree with sonny, they are an active species and will use as...

Be aware of the possibility of alcohol poisoning. I think the treatment days recommended are too many. I tried not to use it for more than 5-7 days, with extra water/misting duration. I used it as an emergency jump start until they could be seen by the vet (for ex had a chameleon I suspected...

Send in Beardie Team 6! All of your ooths hatching and I am just anxiously disappointed each day. I leave this weekend for a few weeks and fingers crossed for perfect timing!!

Ohhh lol I thought the little specks on the wall were escapees

Sometimes it takes a day or two for my chams to show interest. Some never do. I am anxiously waiting for mine! Hopefully just a few days behind you.

I have not had one emerge to my knowledge, unless it was eaten! I have had them show up (just one or two) when adding new bark or plants. Free chameleon food!

I have a whitefly outbreak in one of my vivs and cant wait for my mantid army to knock them out!

They are fine. They actually need a cold period to hatch. In the wild they survive much colder temps. Im in Maryland, USA and we get lows in the teens (rarely below, but somwtimes) and the chinese and caroline mantid ooths do just fine in our winters. I put them in the fridge dor a few weeks...

Oh my gooses, HOW CUTE!!

When you see the babies, I think your fears will be calmed. They are cute (and very observant). They are also very tiny. If one or six escape, I dont worry about it. I probably will never see them again - and if I do, I place them on my house plants. They would never make it to adult size or...

No, I just leave rhem be. My household humidity is usually around 55%

I dont bother with seperating unless you want to grow them to adult size. My chams eat them like m&m’s as hatchlings. The ones that cannibalize just make dor a bigger snack later!

So the sloped ^ part is top, and the more rounded ball shape is bottom. I think mama sorta wipes her butt to seal it off… so i think of the sloped ^ as the indent her butt makes lol

These look upside down to me

Looks good to me! Mine are missing sticks making the point a little more prominent. The egg case is wider/rounder at tge bottom and tapers off at the top. That’s true for chinese mantids - carolina and european are a little trickier as they aren’t round.
